Remembering back this summer...us mothers would discuss who we wanted for our children to have for 1st grade. Every mother I talked to said Mrs. Forrester. I recall telling each one of them that we all can't have her as our childs teacher, she can only have so many! That right there just goes to show you what kind of person she truly is. I know each one of these teachers look up to her as much as each parent and child! I have asked Doreen to move back to 2nd Grade so my child would have a chance to have her in school. But thats ok if she doesn't cause we have her at church and we can share her with all the little kids that might not get to know her like we do. God is a Awesome God and has made a Awesome person. Take care and know I am always thinking of you!!!!
My favorite ladies!! Words cannot express how blessed I feel to have had you as my fourth grade teacher and now to get to learn from you once again as your coworker. You inspired me to become a teacher and now you inspire me to be the best teacher I can be. You are a fighter and I know you can beat this. I miss you everyday. Our conversations can always brighten my day.
Born in Oregon, grew up in Sand Springs, OK, graduated from Stigler High School, married Chuck Forrester (high school sweetheart), had 2 daughters, Brooke & Hillary, two grandaughters-Claire who is 4 years old and baby Lyla.
Has taught at Stigler Grade school for 32 years, completed a Master's Degree and have obtained National Board Certification in Early childhood and retired this year.
January 26th 2009-I was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Future plans are to receive brain cancer treatment and care at MD Anderson in Houston. We will SURVIVE and beat this battle.
So glad you've shared the blog for everyone -- will save a few phone calls to Charlene and allow us to be on-point with our prayers..
