Not sure what to say?





Ms. Stenson was my 6th grade teacher.
I was looking her up to go visit her.
Never would I have thought I'd be writing a message to her in heaven. God
Bless you Ms. Stenson you were a big
influence in my life. I have spoke your name a many of times over the years.
Mostly about how you pushed us to learn in the 6th grade. Oh how I wished
I had a chance to tell you what you meant to me. I loved you and will never
ever forget what you taught me. God bless you and may you rest in peace.

I will forever cherish the memories of my aunt, which are so many. She was an instrumental influence in my pursuit of education. When I was a kid I loved the time I spent at her house during summers. She gave me my very first hammer. You will be greatly missed, Aunt Sister!!!
