I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Kinsella. She was absolutely the best teacher I ever had and I was fortunate to have her in first grade. Some of my fondest memories in school include the times I spent in her class. Her passion to teach was matched only by her compasssion for her students. She was a teacher who taught from the heart. She made you believe that you were important and gave you the confidence everyday to believe in yourself. I will truly miss her. Rick Anania
