You guys rock.
We had a little gathering for her in the school, just a few staff and postgrads, a couple of her former students. It was nice.
I didn't really know her all that well. Others of her circle are suffering genuine grief, so I feel slightly fraudulent accepting your condolences. I'll accept them on their behalf.
I am saddened though. I regret that I never got the chance to get to know her as a colleague, rather than as her student. I also regret that she isn't, and hasn't been, around on my first teaching experiences. She had a reputation for being immesely supportive and helpful with early career teachers in the school. Hers was a friendship I'd have courted.
