"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Psalm 23

Ms Charmaine was my son's teacher and he truly adored her. Shortly after she became his teacher he told me that he had decided to eat lunch with her every day instead of sitting with all of the other students. He said they loved to tell funny stories and share "hot chips" with each other. She made a huge impact on her group of 5 year olds so I can only imagine how special she was to all that loved her. Sending love and prayers to her family and friends.
Every day upon picking my son up from school I would see Ms Charmaine. She would smile so big and say hello, always. It brightened my days, and I pray for her family, friends, colleagues, and her students. She is already missed so much. May the good memories with her help to bring you peace. Monica Suber-Duffy
