KRISTINA A. SHIRAK

You were my first teacher of many to come, and one i know ill never forget. I used to find any excuse to walk into your old classroom and look for any sign of you, let that be the posters you hung on the wall, or your students names that you wrote above the cubbies. Even as a sophomore today i sit at that bench outside of ridgebrook to tell you about how schools going the same way i would tell you about my weekends. I only have two years left until im on my own and if i had one wish it would...

Ms Shirak was actually my kindergarten teacher and I only found this out in 6th grade. I was absolutely devestated :(. I loved Ms. Shirak a ton, she was the best teacher and I never forget her even when I left Ridge Brook and I would always visit her class. I remember the little play kitchen up the ramp in the left corner of the room. Times were fun then, rip.

I didn't really go to her kindergarden class, although she was a teacher of most of my siblings. I'm sad to hear this happen. I remember her room was behind the class I was in, and her class would go in to watch Monster's Inc with us, as well as various other movies. And I also attended a teacher conference with my mom, I'd say about a year ago. It was for one of my siblings. She was very nice. She definitely didn't deserve to die that young.

So sad to hear this. I worked with Neil at VF the day she was born. Being a teacher she will go on in the hearts of the students she taught. My prayers are with you and your family. Eleanor Jackson

Dear Joan, Nick and family,
My heart goes out to all of you. I remember Kristina when she was born. Sweet and happy playing with the other kids in the church yard.
May her memory be eternal.

She was my son's teacher a few years ago. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. She was an amazing teacher and made his first year of school a truly amazing one. She was always so helpful and pleasant and patient. I thank you for all your hard work and dedication. May god bless you. My thought and prayers go out to her family.

Such sad news to hear. Tom and I have many fond memories from the "Normandy" years. Please keep all your memories in your heart where she will always stay. God bless you all.

I know I'm not an adult but I was a student of Ms.Shirak's in kindergarten about 7 years ago and she was one of the sweetest most genuine teacher I had. She really did a lot for me and she was always there when I had a question. I remember on Olympic day when she would dance with her classes it was so fun. I just can't believe this had happened. It was to soon. She truly was an angel . She had a great personality and all out awesome.

Sincerely,...
