Mrs. Minacci was a wonderful woman; I was so blessed to have had her as my fifth grade teacher. She is one of the reasons I am going to college for a degree in Education today. I hope I can be as wonderful of an inspiration to my students as Mrs. Minacci was to her students. Our love and prayers are with your family.

My favorite picture that Mrs. Minacci sent me in a letter, I have in my dorm room

I remember a teacher stopping Mrs. Minacci and I in the hallway saying we look like sisters, I could not have imagined a better compliment. I am so lucky to have continued contact with her years after I was her student and even into college. I anxiously await her Christmas cards each year and when packing pictures for my college dorm, a picture of her was among the first. She was my strength during THON this past weekend. Thanks a million for being my inspiration, my role model, and a best friend.

Mrs. Minacci, what a wonderful 5th grade teacher who was an inspiration to my daughter Jenna who is attending West Chester to become a teacher. Her kind gentle soul will live on in the students she taught. May your family be comforted by our prayers and may God carry you through this difficult time.

Kim was the kind of Someone you might only meet once in a lifetime .
She gave the most endearing kind of friendship to us.
Knowing Kim from the first time I met her began with,
Smiles.
Her witty humor over a Japanese dinner ending with
Hugs not handshakes.
She didn't care that she was several years younger and hadn't jumped into the baby and toddler years as the rest of group had.
In a group of girl friends each takes her role.
Kim was the consummate voice of love.
She loved... When she could have been furious and mad
She loved ...in troubling times
She loved ...when she was diagnosed with cancer
And when we all wanted to scream or fight a battle for her, she with her sweet voice would suggest we paint our nails , play games and drink some wine .
Kim knew her "time"here wasn't going to be as she planned and didn't want to waste it being sick or angry. She wanted as many moments being the very best mother , daughter , sister and friend that-she could possibly be.
She accomplished that.
Grade = A+

Kim was a beautiful person both inside and out. She gave her friendship unconditionally. Her love for her students was genuine and unending. Although she had such a gentle soul, she was "sneaky tough" as she waged her battle against cancer.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this very difficult time.
