To the Perrizo Family,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Perrizo. I too was part of the class of 87 at Queen of the Universe. What I remember most about her is that she was very kind and patient with all of her students, she also always had a story. She made things very interesting. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. She is someone who will never be forgotten by alot of people whose lives she has touched.

TO THE PERRIZO FAMILY,

IM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MRS PERRIZOS PASSING, I FOUND OUT TONIGHT FROM MY MOTHER. MRS PERRIZO WAS MY 8TH GRADE TEACHER AT QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE IN 1987 AND SHE WAS GREAT. SHE WOULD TELL US GREAT STORIES ABOUT MR PERRIZO AND CHERI AND KATHY AND WE FELT LIKE WE KNEW YOUR FAMILY SO WELL THROUGH HER STORIES. SHE WAS A GREAT TEACHER AND SHE ALWAYS WAS IN GREAT SPIRITS. SHE NEVER SKIPPED A BEAT AND SHE WAS SO FULL OF GREAT ENERGY. SHE WILL BE MISSED BUT I WILL KEEP HER AND HER GREAT STORIES IN MY MEMORIES.
