Grace was a dear friend and co-worker. Even after retiring we remained friends and met for lunch on occasion before she moved to Connecticut. Grace was truly amazing and will be sorely missed.

I will keep you all in my prayers! God bless and comfort you in this challenging time.

Mrs. Emond, you taught so much more than elementary school. You taught us all that life can be fun and adventurous! I will never, ever forget all the fun times with you. You are a very special lady. I love you and will miss you. -Stephanie

Val, Michael & Family,
I am so happy that Rick and I were able to attend your mom’s 90th birthday party in Connecticut. She really seemed to enjoy her party and visiting all of her friends, especially many of the former teachers she hadn’t seen in many years. I will treasure all the fond memories of her.

Valerie,

I first met mother when she taught my daughter Alyson. She was, and still is, one of Alyson's most treasured teachers. She inspired a true love of learning in her students. Over the years after she retired, whenever I would run in to her she would ask about Ali by name. Truly an amazing woman! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
