Bill, Lisa Todd, TJ and MaryAnn, Our loss is God's gain! I remember Lorraine as a substitute teacher at St. Luke School for the first 10 years or so that I taught here. She genuinely radiated God's love to everyone, and made us all feel important and special. There wasn't a class that intimidated her... she won them all over. She is missed. Adieu ma chere amie!

Mrs Amberg was my teacher and I remember her warmth when she welcomed us into her home. She will be deeply missed.

Mrs. Amberg was my absolute favorite substitute teacher. Kind, loving, funny and always wanting to hear what we had been up to since the last time we'd been so lucky to have had her in our class. She impacted countless children with unassuming, open heart. Bless her Sweet Soul.

Mr Amberg and Family I am so very sorry for your loss. I read somewhere that as we, on this side of the shore, grieve and weep for the loss of our loved one, there is a group of family and friends who have passed on before that are cheering and welcoming our loved one to the other side of the shore. It brings me some peace to think of this transition as a peaceful sail between two shores.
