We've had a pretty awful week over here. One of the seventh grade teachers just passed away from a sudden illness (infective endocarditis, strokes, sepsis). He was only 47. I keep expecting to see his smiling face in the office. Since I go between schools, I wasn't super close to him, but he was such a sweet person and one of the only teachers who would always take the time to stop at my desk and ask how I was doing without needing something. It's crazy to think that just a couple weeks ago, I was checking his blood pressure and chiding him for it being a little on the higher side and now he's gone. He cared so much about the kids (the kind to stockpile snacks for the ones he noticed were hungry, buy shoes/clothing for them, etc). We're all kind of reeling from the loss.

Dang. So sorry. The way you worded that so perfectly about the character of this gone-to-soon teacher. I feel the gut-punch with you and your school community. wow.
