I was one of the lucky ones that had Mrs. Bricker for a 3rd grade teacher! Over 30 years later, I still think about her often. Just this week I was talking about her with my 3 girls, one of which is going into 3rd grade. I hope my daughter´s teacher makes her feel as seen and loved as I did when I was around Mrs. Bricker. She was one of the best and will truly be missed. Prayers to all of her family. Thank you for sharing her with us!
