Friday night my daughter lost her favorite teacher to a freak car accident. Mr Jones, aged 74, was her all time favorite teacher. He only taught Spanish at our small school, and he learned it 2 summers ago so we would have a Spanish class. He had been a teacher his entire life and found it impossible to give up, even at his age. He an I had become good friends... we compared our beards often! Both, big, bushy and white!
My daughter would trade books with him, go in early to spend 20 minutes every day with him and is just crushed.
Mr Jones was killed taking a good personal friend to the nursing home to see their close friend, after she had a stroke. Mr. Jones and friend were killed in the accident and Mr Jone's wife of 50+ years was severely injured. This man was a very good and strong person in life, in his church and in his family and school.
