She was my teacher at South Eugene High School in Eugene OR.
Ms.Montgomery,I wish I could have spoken to you as an adult and not just replayed our conversations from time to time in my head as I became one. Truly, you made a difference in my life and I am eternally grateful.

We are so grateful to get to know Emily as a 12 year old girl coming to stay with us in Norway for some months. We remember her singing Amazing grace for our oldest son before he was going to bed! He loved it! Rest in Peace, Emily!
Regards from Norway
