Sending deepest sympathy to Rick and boys. I am certain she is one of the blessed angels in Heaven, just as she was here on earth. Students gravitated towards her kindness and empathy for many years. She did her earthly job well, and was loved and respected by so many. She will be sorely be missed by all.
