This made me so sad when I saw that this wonderful lady pass. I was so lucky to have met her, known her, and taught her children. She always had a smile and was a blessing to see when she came to school. To all the children your mom was a wonderful mother and so kind. You all were blessed to have her as a mom, a friend, a wife. She will be missed. I am deeply sorry. She always watched over you and now she is still watching over all of you.
I will never forget helping Ema do her Social Studies Fair project. I will always remember your dad coming to my room to see what he needed to do to help his children.
A wonderful family with a wonderful mother and father. She was the best. My prayers are with all of you.

Our hearts were saddened at the passing of such a sweet and beautiful woman. Her smile and happiness radiated the room. This beauty has shown though out her life and was evident from the beginning of William's and her high school sweet heart days. God blessed them then and with a loving family over the years. May you be comforted with God's peace and mercy knowing you will be united again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

William & family,
My heart was so saddened to hear the news. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with y'all today and forever. I fully intended to make the service today but God had other plans. Even though I wasn't there my heart was. I pray God will grant everything you, your children and the entire family need at this time. May His peace that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts.
Even though our hearts are so broken when we loose a loved one, we find comfort to know that we will be united again.
We send our Love and condolences.
