Not sure what to say?

She was my favorite. Such a big heart. And she taught me more about writing than anyone before or since.

Ms. Kohnke was a fantastic teacher. She had great pride in her work and her students. She, more than any other teacher/mentor/role model, prepared me for UW Madison. I am forever grateful. Thank you, Ms. Kohnke

Eileen was a great teacher who cared deeply for each of her students. I was honored to teach with her for over 25 years at Eisenhower High School and even more honored to have called her my friend. My wife and I will cherish our social memories of her at the lake.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
