I was unfortunately never a student of hers, but I was assigned to her class as a student ambassador at O'Shea. I never realized how funny and lighthearted she was until I began spending time with her. I spent most of my school lunches with her for 2 years. Everyday I walked into her class she was so amazing, she always spoke about something funny her daughters did that day or week. Always having something great to say about them and what they were up to those days. One day I fell out of her chair and she couldn't stop laughing. Almost every day for the rest of that year she would remind me to be safe around chairs or make a chair pun. She gave me the best advice I have ever received even to this day. She was one of the best women on this earth I wish her family the very best through this time.
