I will always remember “Ms. O” as so kind and caring. When she was an aide in my class at WSS, she would occasionally come to me and quietly ask me to run to the teachers lounge and get her a Diet Coke. She always made sure to give me money to get a Coke for myself. She always made me feel like she was looking out for me.
Sending my love and condolences to the Ostermeier family.

Oh, Kelly! I have only the fondest memories of working with you. Rob, Jaime, Robby, John, and Ryan, she loved you all so much and talked about how proud of you she was! I wish I had known her as a grandmother because I’m sure she was wonderful! Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

We took our first airplane flights together to...
