Tragedy

On Monday morning we were greeted at school with some saddening news.  One of the Title 1 aides had passed away over the weekend.

I didn't know her well, but I know that she was an amazing woman.  She lived through the civil rights movement in the south, even marching with Dr. King.

She came to school every day dressed to the nines and with an unrivaled devotion to our kids.  She never raised her voice or spoke hurriedly.  She was quiet, composed, dignified, elegant.

Mrs. Lilly, we will miss you.

My mom told me about this. That's really too bad.
