I was so lucky to have Ms. Quinn, and Mr. Quinn in my life at such a young age. Simply put, the picture of kindness, love, stability, and true spirituality, that at the time I really didn't know what I was seeing. I thank god for their presence in my life. But, that's not where it ends, my daughter, who is now 21, speaks of Ms. Quinn, as a most incredible person, with such kindness, wisdom and just plain love-how true. Two generations of Lopez children having been blessed by simply knowing her-thank you god. My gratitude to god forever-Kat (Lopez) Swartz, and her daughter Tiffany, who worshipped Mrs. Quinn.
