my heart sank when i heard about my favorite teacher from elementary school passing away . ohhhh , that 's so sad . i remember ( long ago ) when that happened to me . did he/she live a good long life ? i hope so . i heard it was cancer . he was always such a happy man . it 's a shame . yeah , that is a shame . i 'm so sorry to hear about your loss . i know how important a great teacher can be your life . thanks for the kind words . he was a lot older than me so i hope he lived a great life .
The death of an influential and beloved teacher.
