Letters: A loving farewell

To the Editor:

Our mother, Susie Johnson, recently passed away, and a few hours before she left us, she  requested that we send a letter to the editor on her behalf. She proceeded to essentially  tell us to write the following:

    When I was young, I told my mother that I wanted to be a teacher, and I was blessed to  be a teacher for 40 years. I taught in Southern California and at Nokomis, Redwood  Valley, and Yokayo schools. Teaching was such a rewarding experience, and it greatly  surpassed all of my expectations. As I look back on our time together, I really feel that  we were one big family that did so much for each other, and now as I am about to go, I  feel compelled to express my gratitude to all of you.

    I wish to thank all of the students that I was lucky enough to meet, you energized me, and  you taught me so much. I am indebted to all of you because you inspired me to be a  better teacher and person, by showing me how to be grateful, kind, polite, helpful,  thoughtful, joyful, energetic, patient, resilient, and humble. You always served as my  role models, and I feel so thankful for your guidance and inspiration.

    I also wish to thank the parents, grandparents, volunteers, janitors, librarians, nurses,  office staff, crossing guards, teachers, and principals. Your hard work and camaraderie  created such a positive and inclusive environment, and it led to so much personal and  educational success. You made going to school fun and enjoyable, thereby making each  day a good one.

    Joy does not give you gratitude, gratitude gives you joy, and I am so grateful for our time  together. I do not have enough words or time to properly thank you, but as Winnie the  Pooh once said, “those who touch your heart will stay there forever.” You gave me such  a blessed life, and you will always be in my heart, for ever and ever.

    Thank You, Bless You, I Love You!

    -Susie Johnson, Ukiah
