What a difference you made on so many people's lives. I feel honoured and privileged that my two boys, Danny and Kieran, had you as their first teacher. You offered them security during those important foundations of school life. I remember the trip to the Zoo where you treated each child to an ice cream - they were so excited! As a parent, and in my professional life, your help and support has been so valuable to me and I can truly say that you made an impact on my life. Anyone who knew you was lucky to do so and your legacy speaks for itself. Julie Thwaites x
