I am so sad to hear this. Mrs. Cacic was one of my favorite teachers. She was gentle, patient, kind and always had a sweet treat for us when class was finished. I only hope to be half the teacher she was. I had the privilege to teach her granddaughter years later, such a sweet family and always in my heart. Bless you all. My prayers and thoughts are with you. "It takes a big heart to shape little minds." Thank you Mrs. Cacic

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I know that there aren't many moments where you don't find yourself in thought about your lost loved one, but we must remember to keep ourselves built up in order to cope with such stressful times. One thing that may help do this is found at 2 Cor. 1:3 where it reminds us that God is the god of all comfort. Please consider this verse along with your copy of the Bible.
