Dearest Family of Virginia Carrick,
I had not known of Mrs. Carrick’s passing until just today, when I received a copy of our 8th grade class photo from a friend on Facebook. Thus, my delayed condolence...
I had the blessing of Mrs. Carrick as both my home room teacher in the 8th grade at Brookside School. That was 50 years ago to this writing. I remember receiving my end of year report card in the 7th grade and seeing her name as the assignment for my 8th grade teacher on the back cover of the report. I was thrilled - delighted beyond measure.
She modeled kindness, compassion, care, and a fervor for her profession. Mrs. Carrick was a sold individual, who exemplified, what I now know, was a strong faith in God. She was an inspiration as an educator - so much so, that I chose Education as my career path, and remained therein for 35 years myself.
I would be remiss, however, if I did not highlight her most inspiring gift to me... to all of us - music. Even as a third grader, I remember our “Sing Song Assemblies”, when the entire k-8 school body gathered on Friday mornings for a sing-a-long in the school auditorium. Mrs. Carrick played such classics as the “Triumphal March” of Aida on the piano while we filed into the auditorium. It is one of the fondest weekly memories of my school years, and her gift of the classics inspired my own passion for the same.
I lost my own Mom, just one year prior to Mrs. Carrick’s passing, and I know how raw the grief can be. But, we do find our comfort in knowing that they are face to face with their Lord and Savior - and rejoicing in eternity with loved ones. Find comfort as well, in knowing that she left behind a powerful legacy to countless children.
I will keep you in prayer and, will donate to the Hope for Communities Foundation in Sarasota, Florida. They help kids who are homeless with their educational needs.
Yours truly, Colleen

My sympathy goes out to Virginia's family at this sad time. I just saw Virginia last year at the BCREA luncheon, and she looked exactly the way she did for so many years. I always admired her upbeat personality, and her caring for others in such a nice way. May she RIP and be at peace with the angels.
