I was sorry to hear about the passing of Ms.Puskarich.She was all five of my children’s teacher up at Liberty School. She was always very kind and concerned about them not only as students but throughout the years. Whenever I would bump into her in the store, she would always ask about them. We have lost a very kind and caring person.
