I just found out of her passing and became extremely sad. I was one of her ESL students in Tucker HS, Class of 1997. She was an extraordinary teacher and cared for her students so much. She was there for me not just as a teacher, but like a loving mother during a difficult stage of my life. She will be dearly missed. God bless her soul.
