*Hey Coach* Words cannot even begin to explain the impact you had on my life. When I first met you I was just a student who loved history. Our bond was instant and I have cherished it since the very start. You taught me to have confidence in myself, that dreams could become reality, and that hard work and compassion could get you to where you want to end up in life. I looked to you for guidance and support through my personal life and schooling and you were always there for me with a smile and a warm hug.I am so proud to say I was a student of yours as well as a friend. Just like I told you the last time I saw you....... you have been and always will be the biggest inspiration in my life. I miss you terribly but will not say goodbye, just take care until I see you again. My love and respect for you is unmeasurable. Love always, Amanda C. Karst
