Thursday evening we got news that Mara's former pre-k 2 teacher Mrs. Linda Halvorson passed away. Mrs. Halvorson taught at First Pres for 22 years and was so loved by every child that came thru her doorway. The excitement and love for learning she taught all the kids was so amazing. Science projects, circus day, crazy hat day, prayer time, projects and the beach were just some of the many things the children that were taught by her experienced.
Late this summer Linda fell ill to what was an auto immune disorder that was attacking her liver. Unfortunately this made her very weak and unable to fight any longer. The family has had a rough go of things with the failing economy and her illness. The thoughts, donations and prayers have been amazing throughout the First Pres community. Mara is having a hard time with it but she just keeps reminding us that she is in heaven with Jesus. I know she is right!!
Please say a little prayer for Linda tonight, for her family and for yours.
The school is taking donations to help with medical costs that were incurred thoughout this tragic situation. If you are interested call the school at 253-272-7145. The kids are also selling "Hope for Halvorson" bracelets for $10 a piece to raise $ for the family.
Thank you Mrs. Halvorson for the wonderful year you gave us in your classroom and a lifetime of wonderful memories.. You truly touched all of us with your love and kindness.
