I´m so sorry to hear about Mrs. Luque´s passing. She was my French teacher at Washington Senior High in the early 80´s. What a great teacher and sweet lady she was in class. I went to Europe with her and other students on one of the tours she organized and we made so many great memories. My condolences to her family and friends.

Ooo I send my condolences. One memory was when I was a freshman we had a dinner get together for our Spanish class. She was such a sweet and dear soul...She was one of the best and my favorite teacher. May God hold her in His holy arms & she is greatly missed. See I just think of having her all 4 years in highschool & class was never boring or dull she made it so alive & fun. Miss Luque I will miss you saying my name, you made it sound so beautiful. I send Miss Luque & her family & friends much love & my deepest condolences. Celeste your student will remember you & tell my sons & grandchildren how you were an absolute gem as a teacher & person.
