Mrs. Kavanaugh was a dear friend. I will miss her . Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this most difficult time.
She fought a good fight and she finished the course. Her reward awaits her in the Great Beyond. I thank God for her presence on this Earth.

Family,
Mrs. Kavanaugh taught me so much. We worked together at M. M. Walton in the late 80s. 
She was professional and personable. Once, when my children were on intersession from school, the oldest called and asked to speak to me. She told him I was in the classroom and couldn’t come to the phone. He hung up. A few minutes later he called again. Mrs. Kavanaugh asked what did he need. He told her that his brother was hungry, but I told them to not use any knives or oven or microwave. He wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for his brother. She told him to carefully get a butter knife and go ahead and make the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She stayed on the phone until it was done and the knife washed and put away. When she told me about it, we both laughed and laughed. We laughed about it over the years. She’d ask if my son was still hungry and eating everything! Thank you, Gloria Kavanaugh,  for being you and inspiring me to be better each day!
You’ve made a difference in my life!
Rest in Paradise!

Condolences to the Kavanaugh and Collins family.  We all went to the same church growing up and my dad and mom finished school with Ms Kavanaugh and Ms Collins. Praying for comfort for them in Jesus Name...
