Today, we attended the funeral of a well loved teacher. She was an amazing woman who touched the lives of many. She was more than just a teacher to us. She was a friend, a confidant. You could go to her for anything. It didn't even matter if you had one of her classes, she was still there for you whenever you needed her.
The service was beautiful. To listen to who she was to so many people, the many hats she wore, was a reminder of the beautiful person that she was. Her's was truly a life worth celebrating and I know that I am a better person for her having been a part of mine.
I can only hope that my children will have a teacher who touches their lives, who changes even one small thing for them, who gives them the strength and the confidence they need to venture out in the world.
Rest in Peace Mrs. Virginia Wood. You have left your mark on this world and on everyone who came into contact with you. Heaven is all the richer with you there.
