A Sweet Poem from Ivy and Marcey

Thank you so much for this poem - I truly loved it and it meant so much to me.

Mrs. Holtvluwer is more than just the lady behind the desk in the chair,
She is a woman full of grace, tenderness and care.
When we don't feel good, maybe a little sick,
Mrs. Holtvluwer to the rescue she has just the trick.
Ibuprofen, Tylenol, all assortment of pills,
And even a friendly hug to get rid of the chills.
Whether we are grumpy, sad, or at our wit's end,
Mrs. Holtvluwer the office lady will always be our friend.
We will cherish the moments with you hanging out at break,
Not spending enough time with you here was our only mistake.
We wish you the best at your new job in all that you do,
We hope you know that we will always love you.

My time at school with amazing kids has been a wonderful time for me. I will miss them dearly, I hope in some small way, I was able to convey my love for them - and my personal relationship that I have with my Savior, Jesus Christ. Leaving behind my friends at Legacy was very bittersweet, but I trust God that He has led me to this new position at Spectrum. I will always have many great memories of my past 17 years at Kelloggsville/Legacy Christian.

So, tomorrow I embark on my new journey, I am thankful for everyone who promised to pray for me, I will need your prayers and I know that God will hear each and everyone of them. Blessings to you all!

Mom! What a great poem! I always knew you loved your "Kellogsville/Legacy" kids more than your own! ;)
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! You'll do great! I am so excited for you! I hope you were able to find a couple of great outfits for your first couple of days! Love you!

Hi, Sue - It was great to hear about the wonderful day of tribute for you at Legacy and now to see some pictures. Wow! Poems, flowers, cake, memory book - glad it was so nice for you. If Legacy closes its doors soon, we'll all know why - because Mrs. H isn't there! Hope your new job is off to a great start - chips and a beverage again soon?
Love you!
Joan
