Ms. Midgley was my first and favorite teacher throughout all my schooling. My last memory of her was when she gave me an from the toy chest in her classroom after I went to see her during my last year at Jefferson Elementary. She insisted I take it even though I haven't been in her class for 3 years. I still have that toy she gave me. It's a pair of orange sunglasses that's too small for my face now.

Keri grew up only two houses down from my grandparents. I have fond memories of playing outside in her playhouse and up in her room with her awesome tape recorder set! We attended preschool together (the pictures I have of her are absolutely adorable) and graduated high school together. We parted ways in school but Keri was always that absolute sweetest. She was the popular, kind girl that made everyone smile. I hope her beautiful soul is at peace and that God is wrapping his loving arms around her family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

I worked with Keri at Jefferson Elementary. She was a great person and friend. I was shocked and then heartbroken to hear of her passing when I opened the newspaper today. My heart goes out to her two small children. I have 3 of my own and I can't comprehend how they feel. All of the Matus/Midgely family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

To everyone in Keri's family, but especially to Gianna & Mason: When beautiful Keri left this earthly place, our world lost an incredible mother to two beautiful children, an amazingly kind and helpful teacher, a loving and caring friend, an inspiration of hope, a ray of sunshine and angel on earth. It wasn't fair. Please know in your hearts that the amazing path she forged in her short life will continue to inspire and bless all who were touched by her unbelievable happiness, spirit and generosity and she will live on in them and never be forgotten. We will miss her beautiful smile and gentle heart every day. All our love, Carrie, Quinn, Parker & Mark Conboy

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Keri was my son's 1st grade teacher. She was exactly the kind of teacher you would want for your little one - kind, patient, sweet, loving. Michael and I have been praying for her every night since she was diagnosed. We will continue to pray for her. She was a beautiful woman and I will never forget her smile. Rest in peace, Mrs. Midgley.

We knew Keri as a school teacher of our son and some of his friends. She touched lives of multiple kids and their families, ours included, in so many positive ways. Teachers like her carry on through their pupils' lives forewer. She was a bright light that will be thorougly missed. For those who care, there is a trust fund for her little children to donate to, FYI.

I am just so heartbroken for this tragic loss. Keri was a co-worker of mine when I worked at Jefferson Elementary School. She gave me such great advice in trying to land a full-time teaching position. First and foremost, my prayers go out to her beautiful children. May they always feel their mother's presence with them. Additionally, my prayers go out to Keri's parents and the Matus family. Rest In Peace, sweet Keri.
