Mrs. Price was my 5th grade teacher as well as my 6th grade reading teacher at Homer Intermediate School. She was tough, but she was determined to make everyone achieve their fullest potential. When Mom & Dad told me that I was related to her I didn't know what to expect when I entered 5th grade. Looking back makes me appreciate life even more. My family offers our deepest sympathies.
