I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Delashmit. I had her for computer science at Martin High School during the 1999-2000 school year. I was thinking of her the other day and wanted to thank her for being such a kind and caring teacher. I was sorry to see that I was too late, but then again, there are family and friends who hopefully can gain comfort and recall fond memories. Mrs. Delashmit was very patient with me, I never stayed still in my seat, waiting for code to run was boring, and I needed to move around. She always let me walk around freely. There was a boy I liked who sat next to me and one day he said to me, "I want to eat your hand." And Mrs. Delashmit kindly said, "Truong, it's I want to HOLD your hand." Silly I know, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I had no idea she was in pain, she was always so kind and loving. And her teaching was wonderful, I had to take Computer Science in college and it was a breeze largely due to her teaching. May the Lord bless your families and her legacy of love live on in each of you.

I taught with Linda at Martin High School in Arlington, TX. She was a very good friend to many of us at MHS, a member of our close lunchtime group, and a genuinely lovely, charming person. I am deeply saddened at her passing but treasure the years of memories she left with us.

Dear Mark and Rick I am so sorry for your loss. Our Christmas card was returned this year and I realized something was very wrong when her phone was no longer in service today. I don't know if you will get this, but I wanted to write to you. You two were very young when your Dad and Mom lived in Pennsylvania and they stopped by to see us in Dayton, Ohio. It was such fun to meet you then and to hear about you as you grew up and became adults. My friend Linda was a wonderful person and I had no idea she was so ill. She had many health issues for as long as I have known her, but she always had a positive attitude. We graduated from Murray in 1965 and went on to Knoxville to graduate school together (after we resigned from our teaching jobs in Miami, FL--never started teaching there, but we had signed contracts - and were fingerprinted in 1965 to qualify to teach there). We shared many good times and some not so good. Harold and I were in Texas a few years ago and Linda came to visit us and share a meal at the convention center where we were staying. I also met your Vaught grandparents when we were in college and stayed at their house near Central City as well as Aunt Jettie and Uncle Larry in Florida. We could always pick up our conversation as though we did it every day. Thank you for being so attentive to your Mom over the years. I surely treasure our memories.
