PJ always would come out to see me in my garden and bring me a cool drink (usually a Pepsi) or some fruit. She always wanted to know what I had done that was new in my garden or would just come by to compliment something that was blooming. She was always positive and kind and smiling and I don't think I can ever think of one negative thing she ever said. She would listen to me when I was cranky or upset about something and before she would leave she would always say a prayer for me and ask me to pray for her to be a good teacher for her kids. I considered her a friend and I will miss those times that we shared.
Ms. PJ is truly one of the most beautiful souls that has ever walked this Earth. When my kids started school, I was nervous, and she made it an easy transition. I could always depend on her for a warm smile, a big hug, and a good report about my kids. As the spouse of a RCS teacher, it was truly a delight to see her at all the events. The world was truly a better place because of the bright light that was Ms. PJ.Kendra Lee
