Kristie and family,
My deepest sympothy for you and your family as you embark into a new journey. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
I just heard of Miss Suzi’s passing. What an absolutely wonderful lady! She was always so accommodating whenever I needed to follow through with kids from Kirkland Heights. For years as I came on campus, she had the warmest greetings and was so thoughtful. I appreciate/will always remember her advocacy on behalf of “her” kids @ Kamiakin JHS! She will be missed by so many :-(! Love/prayers to her family, colleagues & friends!
Though miles separated us, our hearts were always together. We cherish the memories of time spent together, laughter, love and more laughter. Our hearts break for everyone. Hugs and love.
Mrs Bahorek was a great person she will be greatly missed by a lot of people
RIP MRS BAJOREK
