God has called a beautiful human being home. We were so fortunate to have had Ms. Hedberg as our son's pre-k teacher ('05 - '06). A true professional in every sense of the word. Compassionate and gentle, yet stern. We consider her to be our family. She loved the kids as though they were her own. We are forever grateful. Our heartfelt sympathies to her family and friends.Please know that we cry alongside you.
--She prepared a song for our son's class to sing at graduation, of which 1 verse reigns true....
" SO LONG, FAREWELL, TO YOU MY FRIEND. GOODBYE FOR NOW, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN." God bless you Ms. Hedberg.
