Mrs. Thomas was music teacher at Edward Snow Elementary from 1st - 6th grade. Always so lovely and encouraging, to this day I remember her with fondness and appreciation.

As a parent, I realized what I thought was the norm in music teachers, I realized was exceptional. Mrs. Thomas exposed us to so much and always with a kind word, enthusiasm and encouragement.

I am so very thankful she was my teacher. I am sorry I never got to tell her this personally.

May her memory bring all she loved and who loved her peace and joy.
