To my former teacher, the one who pushed me never give up, and the individual who always told me “you have a bright future ahead of you” you will be deeply missed. You were such a sweetheart and always helped your students succeed in your class. This is really heartbreaking to even write, but may you rest in peace. My condolences to your family!
Love Teare
