Mrs. St John was a wonderful woman. I knew her very well during my high school years. She was a teacher's aide in most of my classes. I loved coming to class and seeing her smiling face everyday, she could literally light up any room she was in. Her help throughout my time at Leicester High School got me through a lot of hard times. I don't think I could have gotten through my high school years without her help by my side. I will miss her dearly. Rest In Peace Lou Ann<3
