Sad News

Yesterday morning, one of the teachers that I work with lost her battle with cancer. All through this fight, she has been the most amazingly positive person I have ever met. I cannot imagine the amount of pain she was in at times - and yet she never complained. Her faith remained unwavering throughout and now she is whole and complete in the loving arms of her heavenly Father. My heart aches for her family. She will most definitely be missed at our school. I can't imagine not seeing her smiling face this year.

I'm so sorry for this loss. Her unwavering faith is a great testimony to our Lord.
