My deepest sympathy to Donnas family. It is very sad to lose a fellow RV classmate as well as former RV colleague. I hope happy memories will prevail through this difficult time.

Mademoiselle Amet and Monsieur Remy were my French teachers at RVRHS in the 70s. My introduction to French and France have served me well for 45+ years hence. Ms. Amet was a memorable and inspirational teacher that had much to do with my 42 year career in public education. I helped author teachers editions for high school French textbooks in the 1990s, as a special education consultant with only my high school French to assist me! I know Ms. Amet will rock the next realm and learn and teach new languages we cannot even imagine.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Donna and her parents were my and my parents' next door neighbors when we lived on Woodpecker Lane in Mount Holly for many, many years. They were the nicest people you could ever want to meet. You have my deepest sympathy.

Lost a friend and fellow teacher at RV. Donna is responsible for my nice handwriting. She and I sat next to each other in 5th grade. It seems I never quite made it to recess for I was being punished for talking so much.
The remainder of the punishment? Copying the dictionary.
