Mrs. Higgins, you were one of my favorite teachers at Walters Jr. High and I remember being so happy for you when you were expecting Andrew. My heart broke when I learned of your tragic loss in 2007, and I know that you were very proud of the young man your son grew up to be. Thank you, and also your husband, for raising such an amazing person who would make the ultimate sacrifice for his country and his world. My heart goes out to you. I know you have an angel looking over you during such difficult times.
