Unfortunately, my son, Alex, and I only had the opportunity to attend Ms. Casey’s class for a few months. But as testament to how warm and wonderful she was as a person, it only took that short time to develop a deep respect and affection for her. It was the simple things that stick out in my mind most, whether it was praising Alex for catching and eating a bubble, being the first to notice a child’s new hair cut, or always singing the Gymboree songs with pure enthusiasm and enjoyment – even though she’d probably sung them about a million times! We had our first class without Ms. Casey today. It just wasn’t the same without her, never will be. We miss you!! Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
