I was lucky enough to have Mrs. Albright twice as my English teacher at Hempfield High School. What she taught me about writing and reading has stuck with me… I will never forget how to write a 5-paragraph essay in 30 minutes! Your family has my sincerest condolences.

I had the pleasure of having both Mr. and Mrs. Albright as teachers (she was Mrs. Bertz then) at Lincoln Junior High School in the year of 1969 – 1970. Mrs. Albright was my English teacher, and Mr. Albright was my history and homeroom teacher. Mrs. Albright taught us at a senior high school level, and gave few A’s (I got one of those few A’s). She was tough, but you sure did learn from her. I always tell my son that the teachers he will remember the best later in life were the ones who WERE tough. They challenged you, and taught you things you will always remember. I am glad to see that she and Mr. Albright had a long and happy marriage. My condolences to him and the rest of the family.

Annarose had a beautiful heart. She always made me feel welcome in her home. I feel she has joined her daughter, Marisa, in the Kingdom of Heaven. My deepest condolences to Angela and Bill.
