Not sure what to say?

Although I was only a student of Mrs. Cooper's for one year at the Junior High, she made a lasting impression on me that I carry with me to this day. In her classroom, she had various signs and posters of famous sayings, Inspirational quotes, and of people. I would get lost at times staring off at a poster or reading a sign that was deliberately placed in her classroom so that her students could have visions and ideas that would grow beyond just the classroom. One sign, in particular, stuck...

Georgie, I think of you so often. I have not been here to visit because I lost the link to your guest book. This morning I am just now seeing a private Facebook message from Carla years ago. But the link was there.

Anyway, know you are often on my mind.

Much love,
Liz

I was doing a search of old Brea friends, and was saddened to hear of Georgie's passing. I got to know her through our shared love of jazz, and my late son was fortunate to have been in her class. She was truly one-of-a-kind.

Georgie, I have been wondering where you were. Ohmygosh! But I know now that all is well with you and we will "do lunch" together in heaven. You were such a wonderful friend!

I found this link after googling Mrs. Cooper to try to get in touch with her and to see her obit really hit hard. Mrs. Cooper is the one teacher I will always remember as my favorite. I owe my annoyingly perfect grammar to her. So strict but so entertaining. I only wanted to thank her for pushing me to achieve.

Love you Mama!

Mama...love you very much and think about you everyday...
Love,
Jack

About 15 years ago I contacted Mrs. Cooper to tell her thank you for being my teacher in the 8th grade. Yes, I was Snoopy in the production of "You're a God Man, Charlie Brown" which rocked the Brea-Olinda Jr. High back in 1974. She brought out the best in every student. I will always remember her fondly.

I ran across an email from Ms. Cooper sent to me 8 years ago while doing some cleanup this morning. I am saddened to learn of her passing but I am sure she is in a better place, sharing her humor and energy with a higher audience. She is one of a handful of teachers who had a lasting impact on me. Belated condolences to her family.
