Miss Ginger Michelle Chadwick
Born February 19, 1974
Died May 18, 2002
High School English Teacher who rocked the world
Love Pops (And to those of you from Bothell High School...that's Mr. Chadwick )

A teacher that had class,
And loved you all so much.
She lived to teach each day,
And had a special touch.

I hope and pray you don't forget,
How much you each meant to her.
She loved you all in turn,
Of that you can be sure.

So honor her in some kind way,
Perhaps a poem that you may write.
But know she rests in peace,
And won't be home tonight.

May 20, 2002

This sad time has really brought out the poet in you, Larry -- as small a solace as that is, it's a bi'...

Thank you.

My heart and prayers go out to you Larry, as well as all the student's whose lives she touched. Teachers are some of the most special people on earth, thank you for reminding us of it with this wonderful tribute.

Hello. I am one of her students. I loved the poem that Larry wrote for us. I thank him for that but even more for bringing his daughter into this world. I don't think  I could ever imagine not having her in my life. I think it would have been very empty and unfulfilled

I did not know her, but the poem did touch me. Another person missed, one that was very special to you and many others. My prayers sent out....

Dear Larry
Before, I dusn"t know your lovely daughter,
but when I read all the poems there breack out with your Friends,
I know her as well and I love her too.
I have a computer and all the gladness
and sadness come in my home.
On said that is Live, but I cry.
My heart is near you and Nancy.
Love Muys

Larry, I did not see this until today, and I honestly thought I was dry of emotion, but I am not.

Bless you.  God loves her.

Dear Larry, I remember when one of my English teachers passed away (she was a victim of breast cancer) 20 years ago. She, like your daughter, influenced students' lives and made our classes a joy to attend.  She did more than merely teach. She was a teacher, mentor, friend and fellow human-being.  Your daugher will always be sorely missed but never forgotten.

With love,

Sherry

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
