I was sad to hear the news of Mrs, Williams passing. She was one of my most favorite teachers. I will always remember our school trip to Spain, with Gloria as our chaperone. So many fond memories. RIP Senora Williams!

Bruce-
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a lovely woman and a great teacher who made learning Spanish a pleasure. I have very fond memories of her Glenwood teaching days, and wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you, Becky and your entire family.

Diane and Bruce,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, and one of my favorite teachers at Glenwood High School. We were the first class Señora Williams took to Spain, and what a great experience it was. We learned all the verb forms in her class. Plus she was a great friend to me. I will miss her.
