I would like to express my sympathy to you, Tony, and your family. I admire your mother for teaching for 34 years. I never knew that she was teacher of the year. I know that it takes a lot of respect from your peers and hard work to be voted teacher of the year. Plus she raised 5 children, which of course is the hardest job. I wish you all peace. Your mom is having a well deserved rest in heaven. Love, Amy Daniel
