Dear Giovanni,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May your cherished memories of your mother bring you some comfort during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.
I was so saddened to learn about the passing of the lovely Luisa. We worked together at Nesbitt Elementary and she was such a great friend and support to me. She lit up the room of every room she walked into. I will remember her kindness and laughter. So sad that she has been taken away at such a young age. May she rest in peace.
My sincere condolences on your loss.
RIP Luisa
Fina (retired Nesbit School daycare educator)
