Jeff and Marsha, I am so sad to learn of your mothers passing. In addition to being administrative assistant to Heartland's chief administrator she was also my administrative assistant. She was the consummate professional administrative assistant/Board secretary. Incredibly organized, efficient, accurate, a trusted confidential coworker and very intelligent. She was the voice of reason, always gave me solid and well reasoned advice. She treated all employees, local school personnel and the public with respect.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
