Mrs Potter was one of those rare souls who leave fingerprints on the heart without ever trying to. To a young girl, she was more than someone I admired -she was a quiet hero, a steady light, a living example of grace, strength, and love. Every smile she gave, every word she spoke, and every moment she shared carried a warmth that made the world feel safer and brighter.

She showed, without preaching, what it meant to be kind. She taught, without lessons, what it meant to be strong. In the way she listened, laughed, and cared, she helped shape a young girl´s understanding of what it means to love.

Thinking of you all. Cherish the memory, as I will.
