Not sure what to say?

I just saw this now. I am forever grateful for her legacy and indebted to her and her family for allowing me to take on ownership of the house by Scio Preserve. Rest in Peace.

The culture she grew into Emerson school was truly amazing. Kids that had been hard to handle in regular classrooms found a home they could flourish in among all the faculty and students there. She possessed a gift to help bring students into their potential. She has truly touched countless lives and my condolences go out to her family and friends.

I wish to thank Jean for giving me the chance to start the wonderful life of working with young people. Thank you Jean and Emerson School.
