"Those last days when she was working at elcho was tough. Im in seventh grade and she was there at lunch and when we were in the gym. We were all hard on her because we were all excited for brake. So we were all getting in trouble and she was the one who had to stop it. Personaly Mrs.Kocain was one of my favooite people to talk to at the school. I wish that i would of got to say good bye but thats the way life works. I put my heart out to her working at the school is tuff and having to work with the middle school. Were all still immature but she delt with it. So I thank her for all she did for us and helped us."

"Becky was my "up north" neighbor and one of my best friends. She was someone I could talk to for hours. She loved the lake and being able to sit outside and read. Going up north will never be the same. I already miss her so much. I will keep John and her family in my prayers. We will always have our memories. Love, Annie Groenewold"
