Like so many people I am finding it very hard to comprehend the news and process the information. I cannot believe you will not spring into the office with your smile and positive energy each morning, catch up on the lastest events or just gossip about nothing inparticular. Your energy and zest for life was formidable, you were there for everybody and had wise words for every situation. I will miss your ability to find a silver lining in every dark cloud, the scent in your office, smile in the morning, pink tutu moments and most of all your unconditional positive regard for students, parents and staff.

We will love and nurture Michael in school, he has our unconditional support and we will ensure he ‘flies high’, just as you wanted. No doubt he will keep me updated on the latest planes he has spotted!

I will miss you deeply, the school will miss you, you will be forever in our hearts.
