I worked with Jocelyn Simmons for many years. I remember how well she taught and took her job as a teacher very seriously. I also remember with fondness her retirement party. We had much fun!

Jocelyn and I had many things in common, as both of us were teachers. It made conversation easy. Not that it was ever hard to talk to Jocelyn. She was open and friendly and always made me happy that I had shown up for the WOTM meeting. She was beautiful inside and out and I will surely miss her.
