  1. She was an amazing lady. Awesome teacher who made a huge difference in the world by being such an inspiring teacher to her students and to other teachers. Matthew 25:21 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"
