A candle has been lit!
I attended Tybee Elementary from 1966 to 1971 (1st-5th grade). I remember Mrs. Horne as an amazing, wonderful, lovely, kind, and no-nonsense woman. She kept us in line in her lunchroom! My deepest sympathies and condolences to Earlie, Kim, and Margo. Your mother was, and will remain, a Tybee legend.
