Not sure what to say?

Dear Leigh,
I know from experience the emotion of losing Mother rarely disappears, and your brilliance is in part due to the woman your mother was. Bless your heart and so sorry for your loss.

I love you , Mom. Thanks for looking out for us.

Greetings To Leni's family and friends,

Much time has passed, but I just discovered Leni passed. Some years ago I did my dissertation work on the America Dreams project. I had the opportunity to interact with Leni. Our teachers and students and I had a great and powerful learning experience through the creative vehicle Leni and Kathleen constructed for the LOC. Leni's is the spirit of great teaching. It will live in me as long as I do.

I am so very sorry..I also know that you will not get over it,just through it..I am here if you ever need an ear!! xo

Leni - You are with me now - as always - as the holiday season is here. Know that you are loved. Our colleague, Elizabeth, died yesterday. Please take care of her as I am watching over your beloved daughter, Leigh. Gail

You are have so much in common with your mom Leigh, I was so very sorry to hear of her passing. I met her only once, but she was very clearly a strong, passionate, and kind woman with many unique gifts - much like you... alththough I know you don't necessarily recognize yourself as such, but you will some day! I am honored to have have known you both. Much love; we are connected, always.

Dear friends of Leni -

I can hardly believe that it is coming on to two years since Leni's passing - but I'm also so happy that her memory is alive and well among her friends and fellow colleagues. Leni, we will NOT forget you. For me - you continue to push me to be the best educator I can be. Thank you from my heart.

I am surprised and saddened at Ms. Donlan's passing. When I was just getting my feet wet with technology in the classroom, I ran across her Postcard Geography project and jumped on board because it was easy to implement and would help my third graders who thought their city was a state and didn't know who our neighbors to the north and south were. The project excited them and cemented their learning. We received postcards well into the summer.

I am returning to the classroom after...
