Sweet
On
We miss her terribly.
It has taken me 5 years to feel comfortable creating a web page in her memory,
but she was a dedicated Middle School English teacher, loved by her students,
who are now on their way to college.
As part of their grief counseling, her students were asked to put together a
book of letters to
Mrs. Augustine will always be remembered, and not forgotten. Her
contribution to our school has been amazing. She was my 7th grade English
teacher last year, and she always did her best to help me out, as well as the
other students.
I remember when she would read us famous quotes and give me advice whenever I
was in trouble. She would always tell me not to worry and everything was going
to be all right. I would always argue with her and say that things were not
going to get better, but as usual, she would always turn out to be right.
She would always smile and tell jokes and even show me the latest country line
dancing moves (even though I didn't know what I was doing). She was always
strong and outgoing, and never showed us that she was in pain or that she was
actually suffering. Instead she would smile at us, showing us that she was all
right and that there was nothing to worry about.
I hope that everyone got to know and befriend Mrs. Augustine like I did. I
never met anyone as smart, funny and trusting as she was. She was always
passionate about her work and always talked about her adorable son Joseph. She
will always be with me in spirit because I know that she was in a better place
where there is no such thing as suffering, worry, or pain. I know that she is
looking down on us and she is going to be happy forever. One day I hope that we
would all see here again, and I send my prayers to all of you because I know
you will miss her as much as I will.
Rest in peace Mrs. Augustine. We will always remember
you.
