I was a student at Park Lawn, and Mrs. Magnusson became my hero in the 6th grade when she helped me during a difficult time.

My condolences to the family for your loss, and my thanks for sharing such a wonderful woman with me and generations of other students.

We are thinking of you and have fond memories of our years at Park Lawn. All of us attended school there and thought Ms Magnusson was one of the kindest people. I enjoyed eating lunch with her a few times! It was a fun thing not a punishment!
