Like a thief in the Night

My heart is heavy for one of my past co-workers. She died tragically in a car crash Thursday night due to another drunk driver. The other driver was going the wrong way and crashed head-on into her car. She was killed, but her children will live. They are severely injured and are needing surgery.
I am actually teaching in her old classroom. She left her stamp with the flowers she would paint on the walls in each room she was in. She loved books and teaching. She was to return to our school next year after taking a leave when her family relocated to England for a short while. They just returned to the states back in February.
It is just tragic. We never know when we are called to leave this world. My school has seen many losses this past year. I just continue to pray for the family and my co-workers.

Her legacy will live on in all the little lives she dedicated herself to teaching. She has changed their lives forever.

Blessings on the Kings.

I'm so sorry, Leah. That is very tragic and sad. I will also say a prayer for her family and friends.
