She was my favorite teacher During my years at West Jeff. I think about her from time to time. She passed away when I was out sick. She was a good woman. I did not know she was USCG. High school makes more sense now.

You will be missed...we didn't know that Buddha needed you with him. Continue praying for us...and remember all the fun times we had.
