I’m forever grateful for Chanda and have several great memories over the years. I used to be jealous of Rachelle when we were in grade school. Chanda handmade some of Rachelle’s outfits and they were beautiful and trendy. Chanda time to time did art projects with us. One time it was for me to be able to give my mom a mother’s day gift. I’ll never forget that. Then as the years went by and I had my own kids Chanda was still there giving books to my girls to encourage reading. Both of my girls struggled in the beginning with reading. I was worried, but Chanda calmed my fears letting me know they were fine. It meant a lot coming from her and her many years of teaching. We will all miss her dearly. Love – The Nelp Family
