The world is a lot less colorful this week. Nancy was truly a light in this world. She was a first class educator, and an even better human being. I only had the joy of working with her for three years at Antioch Middle School, but they were the BEST three years of my teaching career. She was directly across the hall from me, and the times we were able to share were always filled with laughter and fun. She had an incredible sense of humor, and she was slow to anger. She cared deeply for her students and colleagues, and she was passionately devoted to her family. I´m sure by now, God has received an earful from Nancy about what He could do better, and I am certain God is paying attention as she speaks, because heaven help Him if he isn´t.... Rest in peace, and know how much you gave to this world and how much better it was because of you.
