To the Prewitt Family,
Mrs. Prewitt taught school with my Mom, Pat Jackson Neal. She was one of my Mom’s best friends. When my mom passed away in 2023 your mom was one of the first people I called. We talked about all of their adventures and some of the funny stories about teaching together. Sending hugs and prayers to you all.
