We Miss You Ms.Ried

It is with deep regret that we annouce the death of Ms. Grace Reid: 1st June 1948- 11th September 2008.

We mourn the passing of this most faithful and dedicated teacher. Ms. Reid served us at Marian Academy teaching English and Mathematics for only three years but in that short period of time, she became our mentor and more importantly a strong mother figure to many students. We all came to love her very much. This year she turned sixty and the Secondary teachers decided to throw her a surprise lunch. When she realised what we had done, we all came in for a good tongue lashing which was taken in true humour. Ms. Reid never liked a fuss so it was only natural that as her pain increased, she dared any of us to treat her as an invalid. No one even tried!! We will remember her words of encouragement, her true professionalism, dedication and the love she showed to her students.

We will miss her deeply and we all join in wishing her God's speed into His Kingdom for her rewards.

Our deepest condolences go out to her son Colis and the rest of her family. May she rest peacefully in God's arms.

The Marian Academy Family
