Dear Brett,
I was so sad to hear about the passing on of your beloved mother and want to express my sincere condolencesto you and your family. Barbara was such a breathe of fresh air to the Fairview community. Her smile was infectious and her caring and compassion for students, teachers, and parents at Fairview South was most appreciated. She was always invested in your learning, assisting teachers, and actively involved in the PTA. Indubitably, your mother was a lady of fine character. May you find comfort in knowing that your love and fond memories will always remain in your heart and mind.
