I didn´t know her as much as many who reply but I knew her for a full year as my 5th grade teacher... She was a very kind and patient women who many of us young guys had a heart throb for... She was very patient with me having seizures that effected my life daily... As a matter of fact I was diagnosed with seizures my 5th grade year and began medical treatment that year... She was very kind and understanding of my disability... I remember the year after I was transferred to shaker that I came back to visit on my bike... LOL But all and all I shared my faith and comfort to you with a belief in god and parallel universe in how time bends... In witch means the past and future are always connected and there is no end in time or our lives... As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end... Amen...
