I was so sorry to read about Antonia's death. I remember her very well when I was a newly bereaved parent at Compassionate Friends. She is at peace and together with Darrell now.

May you rest in peace Ms. Rostami. I was a student at Comstock High School when she subbed in the Spanish classes.I always remember that she let me go practice for cheerleading tryouts during class once. I didn't make the squad my junior year. She knew how important it was for me to make it my senior year so she let me practice during classtime once.
You will be missed. Thanks for educating us!!!
