Mrs. B, I have known you since I was a lazy kid who never wanted to be in school or listen, but because of you and your help, I was able to turn that around all for better and im sure you did the same for my sisters, as we were all lucky enough and had the distinct pleasure of you not just being our teacher but actually caring about us and being a part of our lives... We Will Miss You Dearly Ma, but it's ok because we'll see you later on Mrs. B.
