Condolences
Mr. Southers ~ a man who turned my life around while I was his student in the fifth grade at Custer Elementary school in Monroe, Michigan. There aren't enough superlatives to describe a teacher who went over and above his duties. You left your imprint on so many people, Jim. Thank you will never be enough. Ever grateful ~ Doug Stewart, student - 1973-74 Douglas Stewart
