What an exemplary role model......energetic, caring, knowledgeable, and Christian. I also remember her 'justice' - Surely the good Lord has reserved a special seat for his teaching angels! She is well-remembered......and now a retired teacher myself.....sincerely appreciated!
May the Lord also bring comfort to her family in their time of sorrow.

I had the distinct pleasure to be taught by Mrs. Rodrigue at St. Agnes and more recently to sit and talk to her at our 50th St. Agnes reunion. She was a dedicated teacher and a lovely person. I wish I could have spent much more time than a few hours with her. My sincere condolences to her extended family and multitude of friends.
