Maureen Mace. Passed November 13, 2012. This dear woman was my English teacher in high school. She was also my homeroom teacher - from Gr 8 to 12. In Gr 12 she took me on as her teacher's aide. First time she ever allowed anyone to be in her classroom teaching with her. She was tough. She was downright mean at times. She was exact. She was demanding. And she had a heart of gold! I loved her. She understood me and she treated me like an adult - even when I clearly was not one. She was my mentor all through high school and after I graduated I continued to keep in touch with her. She was at my wedding. She was a special friend. And I am sad that she has passed. Good bye my sweet friend. Thank you for your time and your energy and your talent and your friendship for all those years. And thank you for teaching me all that I know!
