My condolences to the Romeo family.Mrs. Romeo was my preschool teacher back in 1978.I moved from Deer Park after high school to Virginia and I never forgot her.I still have my preschool graduation pictures of her giving me a kiss with my little cap on,holding my scroll,and the construction paper profile of my face that we did in class.I also have pictures of my easter egg hunt that year.Although Im 33 years old now,Ive never forgotten her.I was at a wedding at the church back in 2002 and I showed my little ones where I went to preschool in there,I had no idea she still taught there.She was a really nice lady and I still remember alot of things from back then.I hope your family finds peace at this difficult time,God Bless!!
