Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of having Ms. Lynch as my 12th grade English Teacher. I wasn't sure if I was going to attend college upon graduation. After working a few low wage paying jobs, I decided to return to college. Thanks to the foundation of education from Teachers like Ms. Lynch, I'm proud to say I've earned 4 college degrees including a masters degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have worked in the mental health profession for more than 35 yrs. 28 of them have been spent...

Had JoAnn for a teacher from 1971-73. She was tough, fair and understanding. Then in 1986 she was a colleague when I became a teacher at Robi. There was not a teacher loved more than JoAnn! She has truly earned her wings. REST JoAnn!

I had Ms. Lynch about 60 years ago and twenty years later my nephew was in her class. She is remembered fondly by many. May sh rest in peace.

One of the very best Teachers in Robichaud High School !! She was tough, but fair and I loved her sense of humor and following her on Facebook. Her posts cracked me up on a daily basis ! She is loved and will be missed by so many. May she rest in peace with her Husband.
