I remember your mother as if it were yesterday. She was my 4th grade teacher at Clarence L. Farrington School #61 over near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. She was a very big influence and impressed upon me that I had the potential to achieve anything I could imagine. She was instrumental in getting me into a program for gifted students and was my biggest cheer leader. I truly believe that your mother had more influence on my life than any of the many other teachers I encountered during my education. Steve Hoyt – Plainfield, IN
I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember Mrs. Grounds fondly as my 4th grade teacher at school #61. I remember her reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. I looked forward to the end of the day so that she would read to us. She was such a wonderful lady! May her memory live on through her family, friends and all the kids lives that she touched!

So thankful to have had Mrs. Grounds in 4th grade. Kind, good and joyful presence. Blessings and comfort to the family.
