She was so kind, and gentle, and quiet... quietly observant of everything happening... Moomin loved her... I'm so sad she's dead. I don't want to tell him... It's not like he talks about his old teachers much... but she was the teacher who, slightly against the "montresory way" of detachment, would give him a little hug when he needed it. It's hard to think about her family, her daughter, everyone's sadness. She was so sweet, so kind-hearted. Can't you see in the picture how nice she is...after a whole day with a schoolful of children she was still sweet-tempered and would focus with careful sincere attention on each of the kids. Shaking hands each day and saying "good afternoon" as part of their lessons in deportment.
She does look very sweet. And kind. Don't know her story, but I'm sure she'll be missed!

Oh God, this is awful news. I am so sorry, Badger.
Moll lost her soccer coach/Girl Scout Leader a couple of years ago. It was beyond sad.
