To the Family of Mrs. Cerro,
I am so very sorry to hear of Mrs. Cerro's passing. She was my second grade teacher and an amazing influence in my life. I remember how she always pushed her students to be the best that we could be, and how she was deeply respected and loved by all of us. She will be missed greatly and thought of often.
