My deepest sympathy to the family. She was a beautiful person, always caring and smiling. She was my son's kindergarten teacher at Kingsbury.
I was a room mother in her class and could see that she was an excellent teacher. She touched our life and so many others, I'm sure. She will be greatly missed.
