know if I share some cultures' belief that when a person dies their energyis released back in to the universe; but Ifthat if that is true, then the universe became a much kinder place on the day D'riece died.

The warmth you placed in my heart over 30 years ago will be with me forever. You touched my life so deeply with your kindness, compassion, and deep wisdom. The time you shared with me, and your sincere belief in me, kept me going. I'm a PE teacher now because of you. I will always be grateful for the life lessons you taught me so many years ago. They continue to have a positive impact on my life today. Ms. Good, thank you for all that you have given to this world. Thank you for your inspiring love you gave to me. May you rest in peace . . . until we meet again . . .
