My condolences. I remember Mrs. Tarquino from my days in high school. She was a great teacher and person.
Mrs. Tarquino was my math teacher in grade school many years ago (in the 80’s.) She devoted most of her life to teaching. What a blessing. May she now rest in peace as she is reunited with her parents and daughter…
