Walt and family, So sorry to see that your mom has left us. I know she was called momma back when we were in school but she was a mother hen to all of us while we were in her care. I always loved her classes, her tough love with us knuckle heads, her guidance when we needed it, her love of books which i still observe till this day and most of all her sense of humor. She could tear me up one day for being lazy and the next she would give me a smile and an atta boy for sharing a book or newspaper article with her. God bless Momma and thanks again for caring. " PEACE "

Sincerest condolences to Pat's family. She was an inspiring woman and so devoted to her family, public service, and her volunteer work. She was also a great tennis player and I enjoyed many years of playing the game with her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was a wonderful teacher who taught not only English with a passion, but also life lessons. She was gracious and honest, and I enjoyed running into her for years after I had graduated. I was always happy to see her, and she always found time to speak to me. Truly a one of a kind woman.

Was a saint and great teacher. She always had a smile and willing to help her students. Canandaigua School has lost a fantastic mentor. Heaven had a great angel now. RIP
