Mrs. Jacobs was my 5th grade teacher. (94-95 year) I have so many good memories of her class. One thing I will never forget is on those hot days she always had a jug of water for us after recess. The water fountain was never enough. I didn't realize until I was older what a pain that was, but she still did it! I had my first quilting lesson in her class and am now a quilter!! Also every time I make beef stew in a crock pot, I think of her. We got to make beef stew in her class one time and it was so amazing. They don't teach life skills like that in class anymore. She was an AMAZING teacher!! So sorry for your loss!
