Dear Debbie,

30+ years ago, our family observed a young aspiring teacher

whose dedication to her students and craft was 2nd to none. The deep roots you planted through your teaching have produced great fruits over the years, especially with those who benefited immensely from your warmth and skills.

May the Ribbono Shel Olam grant you health and strength

(as we all know, teaching may be one of the most exhausting jobs that exists) to continue your great work on behalf of HANC's students and families.
