Mrs. Pellegrini and Christina
What a day! Crowell Elementary School. So many memories. Mikaylah was home school Kindergarten and first grade and started public school at Crowell School. She went there 2nd-6th grade. She loved Crowell and every person there! Every year she had wonderful teachers. I thank God for that. Even after Mikaylah went to TJH when we would pass Crowell she would say, "I sure miss Crowell, I wish I could go back." This past Halloween she even went to help out at the Halloween Carnival. She had such a great time and it was the first time I had ever left her to volunteer without me and when I picked her up she felt so grown up and was so happy that she went. After Mikaylah passed away, Christina a parent and employee of TUSD asked if they could plant some flowers in Mikaylah's honor. You have to understand Christina and Mikaylah have the same feisty personality, they would torture each other. Christina showed me her phone today and Mikaylah was texting with her on Dec. 17th the day before she went into the hospital. Mrs. Pellegrini, a caring teacher at Crowell School helped plant the flowers and take care of them with the help of many students. Mrs. Pellegrini helped teach Mikaylah how to play the violin when she was at Crowell. I remember the concert Mikaylah's 5th grade year. She was sitting next to Mrs. Pellegrini, I felt sorry for her because Mikaylah never got the hang of playing the violin and I'm sure it hurt her ears!! Thank you so much CROWELL SCHOOL and all the staff and every student! It brightened my day to see the blooming flowers today and I don't think its accident that they are blooming in Mikaylah's birthday week!

Listen to the following video to hear Mikaylah's Autobiography from Ms. Handosh 5th grade class.
Tammy this was so awesome. The flowers are so beautiful & will mean so much to all of us as we drive by & remember all the good times we had a Crowell school. Her biography was so precious & truthful...she would have made a wonderful teacher and we don't know that may be her responsibility in heaven is teaching the children about something very special like how to paint or sing or even dance with the harp & tambourines praising God. Whatever she is doing she is giving it her all. You did a fabulous job reading it & expressing your gratitude to Crowell school & teachers. God has given you the inner strength to do this & it is going to help so many people who will one day walking the same road you are walking today! Mikaylah would be so proud of you just as I am. I love you so much & thanks for sharing your heart with everyone.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm sure she is in charge of something! She liked to lead the little ones! I don't feel like I am strong, I feel weak! Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support. Love you!
DeleteScripture tells us that it's when we are weak that we are strong...because when we are weak is when we depend on God most & He gives us the strength to get through each moment one at a time as we need it. If we saw the whole picture at one time we would think we would never make it through whatever we are going through. That is why we only get to see one day & not our whole life layer out in front of us. What would we do if we saw everything that was going to happen in our life I'm sure we would panic and tell ourselves we can't do this...no way! But God knew that so he never gives us more than we can bear. You are stronger than you think...being strong doesn't mean we don't cry or feel discouraged or alone or even depressed sometimes. We all have these times and thank God He is always there for us. I Love You, mom
