I taught with Margaret for fifteen years at Pinelands. The staff room hasn't been the same. A truly beautiful soul.

Mrs Bekker taught my daughter to read. She had a way of making every child feel chosen. Sending all my love to the family.

I was in her Grade 2 class in 1983. I still have the report card. Beautiful woman.
