I just received an email from my mom telling me that one of our dear church ladies has died. She hasn't lived in our community for years but there's a wonderful feeling in my heart when I think of her. Ms. Kimbal was my Kindergarten Sunday School teacher. I remember bits and pieces about that time. My favorite memory was doing a craft that involved a toothbrush, paper, paint and square fence wire stretched across a wooden box. We would dip the toothbrush in paint and then brush it across the fence wire created this cool looking splatter print. I also remember being in her Vacation Bible School class during the summer and the smell of gardenias. To this day the smell of gardenias it takes me back to that time and the feeling of security envelops me.
In Loving Memory
Ms. Kimbal Smith
