I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Rae’s passing. She was my sweet paraprofessional at Central High School. She was always a pleasure to work with. She was so good to my students and me—she was the best homeroom mom ever! I wish I could attend her celebration of life. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
