I was just reflecting on Ms. Culberston this morning to my co-workers. I enjoyed her teaching our French Class. It breaks my heart to know that she is no longer with is in body. Her spirit will live with us forever. I loved the way she would run around class like a lizard and when she laughed at the way I mispronounced hors d'oeuvres when I first seen it written. She was such a wonderful teacher and will be missed. I will continue to bring her to life when I share my stories of her.
