Dear Clark Family,
Words cannot express my sadness upon reading Kevin's obituary this morning. Please know that I have wonderful memories of teaching Kevin, his enthusiasm for Spanish, and his visits to WMS after graduation. Unfortunately, I have committed to leading a professional development session on Friday morning for language teachers, so I can't be there to honor Kevin, but please know that I'll be thinking of him and the entire family. My deepest sympathies.
