Mrs. Todd was my first grade teacher and she left a mark on my life. Today I branched out to find her because now I’m in college and I wanted to write an essay on teachers who influenced me and changed my life for the better. I am disheartened to find she passed. She was the sweetest teacher ever,  she really cared about us. She was thoughtful and I will always remember her because she made us eager to come to class and ready to learn. I remember she would always smell like cookies and she would always bring in cookies to class from Trader Joe’s , that even as an adult, I cannot find. She was a beautiful soul and I know she’s eternally resting in peace.

Barbara was a dear friend of mine while we were teachers at Reche Canyon Elementary.   She was a creative person whose mind boldly thought about ideas beyond what others would think.  She was almost always happy and eager to teach the children in her charge.  Her demeanor with the children was such that she was like a wise “grandmother” in disciplining them and instructing them on how to behave.  She attended a Los Angeles Philarmonic Orchestra concert  at Disney Hall with my husband, Richard , and I in early 2011. She loved the music and marveled at the beauty of Disney Hall.  The world was a better place because of dear Barbara’s many talents and her teaching skills.
