We are so heartbroken. Mrs. Berry was our daughter's kindergarten teacher this year. Alana's last day at the school was Friday, and Mrs. Berry made it so special for her. She was amazing and will never be forgotten. We are so sorry for the family's loss as well as the school's and the community. She holds a special place in our hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jean and loved knowing and learned so much from her teaching methods and how she loved her job. I will miss her as all the children she hugged and loved each day. for her family.

Though we will meet again in Heaven, I will never forget the memory you gave to me by bringing your Mom to my Mom's 75th birthday party in California. Odie was thrilled to see you both. What a sacrifice you made and a joy for us to be reunited at that time. Love you forever...

So sorry for your loss! I didn't know Kinder as well as many but the few times I talked to her at camp outs with Troop 18 were always wonderful. She will be missed by many. My heart goes out to all of the people that were touched by her.
