Rest peacefully Mr. Webb. I appreciate that year you spent teaching me in 5th grade. You fostered creativity and a sense of free spirit in the classroom. Having been a teacher myself, I'm sure some days were very challenging. On your behalf I'll cheer the Cardinal on! Today in your honor I sign off with the esquire title following my name, because you contributed to this accomplishment.

Rest peacefully Mr. Webb. I appreciate that year you spent teaching me in 5th grade. You were kind and fostered creativity and a sense of free spirit in the classroom. Having been a teacher myself in the past, I'm sure some days were very challenging. On your behalf I'll cheer the Cardinal on. Although I never place the esquire title next to my name, except in a professional setting, today I do in your honor. On some level you contributed to it.
