Dear family of Mrs. Clarke,
I met Mrs. Clarke when my daughter Meghan started Kindergarten. She was fortunate to have her as her first experience in education. Mrs. Clarke was one of those teachers that was magical. I learned so much from her, and I remember wanting to spoil her the year Meghan had her, in 1994. I made her special teacher cross stitching, and shadow boxes that beared the school name, LBJ. I just wanted her to know how special she was. I told her one day, "When I grow...

I taught many years with Jackie. She was a wonderful person. She was not only beautiful on the outside, but even more beautiful on the inside. I can still see her standing at the door at L.B.J. in a pretty blue plaid dress hugging each of her students before they left for the day. My life has been blessed because I knew her.

I could never express in words my feelings for Jackie. We taught together for twenty five years. She was the best teacher, friend and person you can imagine. I feel so fortunate that she was a part of my life for so many years. Her family is also very special to me and my thoughts and prayers are with them daily.

Jackie was a master teacher. I did my student teaching under her years ago. What a wonderful way to begin my teaching career. She had such a kind, caring way of interacting with small children. One could tell that she adored every one of her students and loved her job. She will be missed by so many. My prayers are with Curtis and her family.

Jackie was my daughter's Kindergarten teacher. Lacey was so happy in her class. Jackie was warm, loving, and creative. She was everything that every parent hopes for in a teacher. What a blessing she was to so many families.
May God bring the family comfort and strength.

I will always remember Jackie as a warm and giving teacher and friend. I had the privilege of having her as my mentor teacher my first year teaching. I could not have asked for a more perfect introduction into the teaching field. She was so supportive and had such a kind heart. She will always be remembered this way. I told her once that her children were so blessed to have had a mother like her. Very few people are that fortunate. I know that they realize how special she was to them and...

Jackie was one of the kindest people I ever met. It was my honor to know her and work with her. She has made me a better teacher, mother and person. I wish love and peace to the family.
