Fran, I will always remember your love and dedication to your students. You were a great role model for me when I started teaching because of the compassion you had not only to teach English but to also make kids and anyone else around you better people. I will never forget the one time a kid sent you over the edge and you cursed at him. Rather than turn him in for misbehavior, you turned yourself in. If only more of today’s youth could emulate your conscience! Smile from the joy of knowing that your gifts made the worlds you were a part of, including mine, better places. Peace.
