Oh Mrs. Mohle, it seems like yesterday that you were sharing your wisdom
with me during our VOE class. You were so gentle in your praises & you helped
me recognize my talents & skills. At that point in my life, I was so impressionable
and you knew just what to say. Your guidance, kindness & skills helped me develop
in my initial stages of growth. You pointed me in the right direction & nurtured me
along the way. Your smile will forever be imprinted in my thoughts. Heaven
received a teacher angel. Blessings to your family!❤️
One of my favorite teachers! The just don’t make them like that anymore.
