Sylvia Matousek

Ms. Matousek was my favorite teacher. (I am now 50 years old) She was my 5th grade teacher at Gillette Road Middle School. To this day, she is the only teacher I tell stories about during my school years and the impact she had on me. I was the redheaded wild child (slightly) and at the time I felt she really cared and understood me. I just loved her and so did many others. Through the years I found myself comparing all my teachers to her and now my sons and still, none have measured up to...

Dearheart - I miss you everyday. Frank keeps a picture on his bureau of you and him at our hotel in Barcelona, laughing together. What sweet memories. Suz & Frank

I think of Sylvia often but this weekend, on Sunday her newsletter and bio that you had handed out at her memorial just happened to slip out of one of my boxes that I was going through. Since I am trying to reduce!, I pondered throwing it away but just couldn't...and then the Memorial message appeared on my email. She must be thinking and helping us as much or more as I think about her.

We go back to the strike and Sylvia was our leader. She was most dedicated for we teachers all these years, We will remember her always. Ron Roch

We were cousins become friends by choice. You'll be in my heart forever, dearheart.

Vince, So sorry for your loss. Sylvia was a great person. She will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

She was my 5th grade teacher. I am 53 yes old and have never forgotten her encouraging words. She was one of the best teachers I have ever experienced.
