Dear Hunter Family,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for you kind words, the framed poem, and the angel I recieved during the tree planting ceremony on May 19th. Both the poem and the angel are proudly displayed in my classroom.
This meant more to me than you will ever know. I love what I do, and always give 100% to my students. I am so glad I was able to make a difference in Kristen's life. My life has been greatly blessed by having the honor of knowing this precious child.
I will never forget Kristen. She will always be in my heart. She taught me many things about unconditional love and acceptance. She taught me how precious life is and how we should live each day to the fullest. This little girl changed my life in so many ways. She was truely a treasure; a gift.
Her peace lily is sitting in my living room. It is flourishing and has recently began to bloom a beautiful white flower. I appreciate you entrusting this special plant in my care. I enjoy tending to it daily as it helps me feel connected to Kristen.
Although we are still hurting, it's comforting to know that we have each other to lean on. It helps us through the toughest of days. As long we keep Kristen in our hearts, she will always be with us. All we have to do is remember that sweet angel smile and know that she is near.
Thank you all so much for your kindness, and for allowing me to be a part of Kristen's life.
With much love and respect,
Shannon Strack
