Jitka was a fellow teacher of mine at Walsh. She started teaching the year after I did and we became good work friends. What I'll always remember about her was that she always put other people first, she always tried to include others, and she had a great sense of humor. She could always make me laugh at the end of a long day at school. My sympathies to her former students, friends and family.
