Rosa Jacks

Senora Jacks was my Spanish teacher in the 7th and 8th grades at the Wilson School in Mountain Lakes. I reconnected with Christmas cards and letters a few years ago. She was the best teacher I ever had and encouraged me to move ahead in my studies. She gave me a different textbook and said that I had a gift for languages. She instilled so much confidence in me at the awkward age of 12! I have never forgotten her.
I was googling her address today because I could only remember the street. I´m in the airport on my way to Madrid and I planned to mail her a postcard. Instead I found her obituary. I´m so sad to read of her passing. She was truly a wonderful teacher and mentor. I will toast to her and light a candle in the cathedrals we plan to visit while traveling through Spain.

We moved into our home in 1989 and Rosa has been an ever present person in our lives. We are always coming and going walking our dogs and Rosa spent a lot of time outside gardening, so we would often share a wave hello and chat.
We would talk about many different things, Rosa always bright eyed and engaging. Rosa will be truly missed, but left us with many wonderful memories.
Sending our condolences and love to the Jacks family. May you be blessed with knowing Rosa lead a full and productive life.
Love, Carolyn & Myron
