Your life was such a blessing to many among us who got the opportunity to be taught by you. The values you instilled within us will forever stay. To me, you were not just a teacher, but a father figure for the ways you’d uphold discipline, the fear of God and respect for parents and people.
I thank God for once placing me in your hands and pray that Angles welcome you to heaven for a peaceful rest.
