Jose was going through his facebook account at the ranch on Sunday, and his face fell. "Oh no! Mrs. Hethcoat died." It took me a second to realize what Jose was talking about and then I was awash with a supreme sadness

She sounds like a great woman, and I'm glad she was in your life.

I googled Senora Hethcoat's name to read her obituary online. When this post came up I saw the beginning of your post and immediately clicked on it to read it. I was in Senora Hethcoat's class this year and she was as you said, the best teacher I could have hoped for. Unfortunately the last week before our final exam she was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. She approached it in an extremely courageous and strong manner. When she told us about it that week, the entire classroom fell silent and then she said, "But don't worry, since I won't be there, you won't have to have a composition!" At this we all began to chuckle. Although I was only lucky enough to have Senora for one amazing semester, I feel truly blessed. I'm so glad you got to have a similar experience and my day was brightened after reading your post. I attended her funeral today and it was truly an honor to her amazing life.

I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you got to know her.

I'm not really anonymous. I'm Amalia's widower, Charles. We've met before. I only just happened onto your post, though. Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.
