I am so very sorry to hear that "Miss Curran" passed away. She was my 5th grade teacher at Immaculate Heart of Mary and my favorite teacher. She also tutored me in math. I remember her coming to my house on Saturday mornings in her gold Ford Maverick. She was a lovely lady. I though of her so many times over the years. Rest well, dear lady. You did your job as a teacher well.
