To all the Schulman "kids",
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your mom. Growing up in our neighborhood, she often was like a mom to me--always there for me when I needed someone. She's been very dear to my heart all these years; I'll never forget her.

Mrs. Schulman was my 6th grade teacher. I remember all the words of wisdom she offered me and the show of support as I started my interest in sports. May she rest in peace!!!!!!

Mrs. Schulman was my teacher at Menlo Park. I met up with her again while I was attending a class at the Jewish Communtiy Center on Plumer. The short time we spoke has always been a great memory to me. She was always encouraging and a wonderful teacher. My condolences to her family.
