We are so saddened by this loss. Mrs. Marvel taught both our boys in pre-school, and gave them such a good educational foundation. She was an amazing educator! But it was more than just her teaching skills that we appreciated- she was so patient, positive, loving, and kind in the process. She was truly a woman of grace and consideration. She cared for her students´ families as well, and encouraged me many times. She shone Jesus!
Many prayers for her family in the days to come.
