From Nathan Allred, former student

From Nathan Allred--8 years old (as dictated to his mom)

Mrs. Bilderbeck was my 2nd grade teacher last year. She gave us a lot of work and expected a lot from each of us. It was hard for her to go from teaching 5th graders to teaching 2nd graders. She loved us though. We worked hard through all the work together.

I'm going to miss Mrs. Bilderbeck, but I know that Heavenly Father has taken her home to Him so that she can rest. This is His way of saying "You've worked so hard here and you are so tired. Here. Come back to me and I'll let your exhausted body finally rest." We can miss her, but we shouldn't be sad for her. I know she's not sad! She's probably up there teaching all the little kids who have died how to read and write and do horrible fraction problems! And, all those little kids are probably complaining and wondering why a teacher had to come to their part of heaven and make them come inside from just goofing off.

But, they'll all love her too, just like we did.

I love you Mrs. Bilderbeck!

Love,
Nathan
