My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole George family. Mrs George was my fifth grade teacher at St Mary Magdalen in 1979-80. I later became Anne's big sister at Nerinx. I have always said Mrs George was my favorite emlemenatry school teacher and have many fond memories of her. Thank you for the chance to be touched by such a great woman.Teresa Quevedo

Neil,
I worked as Coordinator of Religious Education when Tozia was Principal at Mary Queen of Peace. I am glad that I was at least able to visit with her once in the past months. Her devotion to Mary Jane Schutz was an indication of her deep care for other people. i remember calls from Tozia when she was working at St. Jen. She would be looking for a prayer service or a blessing that we had used at MQP. It was always good to hear from her, especially if I could be of help or just chat for awhile. I will continue to remember her and know that she is at peace in the hands of God.

Dear Family,
Tozia was the best principal St Ann's school had when my children attended the school. I always had such a high regard and respect for such an intelligent lady. I am saddened by her passing. I truly enjoyed her enthusiasm for her zeal teaching and being an administrator. What a great person. She will be missed and there is a special place for her.

Dear Neil,

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Tozia as her secretary at St. Ann School. What a dynamic administrator she was. I was so impressed with all that Tozia accomplished in her short stay at St. Ann.

Tozia touched my life and I will always cherish my time working with her. Tozia will truly be missed. May she rest in peace.

We offer our condolences to Neil and his family regarding this terrible loss. We thoroughly enjoyed our 15 years together with Neil and Tozia while we were in StL. We shared sushi, sake, good stories and lots of laughter. Tozia's good spirit and pleasant demeanor was always on display making her one of the few people we've ever met who was so consistently pleasurable. She will be missed, but her memories will last forever.

A wonderful, if brief, encounter with Tozia sharing a table at a Kemper Award dinner was enough for her beautiful personality to remain in my memory since then. Extraordinary people live forever in our memory. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Silvia Navia
