My condolences to the Dillworth family. Mrs. Dillworth was my kindergarten teacher in Thompson 58 years ago and I still remember her wonderful smile at a time when most children were terrified to leave their mothers. She made us feel like we were her children and we all came to love going to school in the town hall. She became a friend of my mother's and even taught her quilting resulting in my family having beautiful tangible memories of our mother/grandmother.
