Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences, a little late. I just heard from John Hogan. Mrs Tacy was an absolutely lovely woman, very kind. Always asked how I was, how things were going, with genuine interest. She always brought a smile to my face. I am sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy to the family of their loss of Melba. I knew Melba through Elly Maag many years ago. May she rest in peace. Hilde Steinmann

One of the best teachers and nicest ladies that Christian Brothers Academy ever had the pleasure of being associated with. As a former student...I should know!

Dear Uncle Pete and all of Aunt Melba's family and friends - when someone like Melba touches you with her selflessness, her love, her smile, and her giggle - you feel special. You also learn that that's the epitome of being a human being. Her loss is devastating. At this difficult time, please find comfort in all the love coming your way - it's the love she gave being sent back to you and it's enormous.

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Tracy´s family and friends. Mrs. Tracy truly cared about her students. I was not performing well in her chemistry class so she called my parents and let them know I was not putting enough effort or time in learning what she was teaching. That was fixed by my having to go in for extra help for a period longer than I can remember. I believe I ended up with an "A" in her class. Mrs. Tacy was prouder of me than I was of myself. I do not remember much of...

I taught with Melba at CBA. She was a wonderful person and great teacher. Our condolences.

Mr. Tacy, Peter, Paul, Merry Beth, and Sarah, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have such fond memories with you wife and mother, she was a shining star to me and everyone she came in contact with. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!! Annemarie (McGuire) McGarry
