By far my most favorite teacher at Nayland College. I had no idea that Bobbie had passed but she was firmly in my mind recently. Just a wonderful person who realy helped me through some tough times growing up. Forever grateful.

I'm so sad to hear of Mrs Shirley passing. She will always be Mrs Shirley to me. She was hands down my best teacher at Nayland college. I will always remember you.
