Jodi, 

You had such a profound impact on Jenna's life.  We still talk about how you nurtured her creative writing gift.  It's amazing that a third grade teacher has the power to transform a child's confidence for life.  Jenna attended DeKalb School of the Arts to do creative writing.  Now, she is working in the business world, but talking about taking a creative writing class to keep the spark alive.  You created that spark.  We speak of you often.  Thank you!  

You are an amazing teacher and friend.  I feel so fortunate that our lives intersected.  It's been an honor to see Ava Mei and the boys grow up—I can imagine all the sparks you've lit in them.  You have changed so many lives for the better with your warmth, passion, and dedication.  Thank you.

Sending you lots of love,

Allyson
