David and I went to Village together for 13 years. We were in the same Kindergarten class. I don't remember Mrs. DeHaan being one of those smothering mothers, but I can picture her perfectly as if she was at school often. Maybe she wasn't. Somehow she made an impression on me. Two things: She packed David's lunches in sugar sacks. I always thought that was so neat. The other? She seemed to be a person with a peaceful, quiet strength (which I recognize now as from the Lord).
Mrs. DeHaan probably didn't even know who I was, but she left an imprint on my mind. What a blessing she must have been to those who knew her well.
