Miss Resendez was one of the best teachers I ever had. I met her in the 6th grade at Ursuline Academy. My sincerest condolences to her family. May She Rest in Peace.

With all the pieces of my heart, our deepest condolences. The world is a sadder place without Ms. Resendez in it. She truly cared about not only her students but all the students at Ursuline. She called it as she saw it and was straight forward, never mincing words or beating around the bush. No matter how hard we tried there was no pulling the wool over her eyes. She kept me walking the straight and narrow with her ability to read a person. She always seemed to know I was fixing to do something foolish and get in trouble before I did. She did so out of love for us and support, wanting us to set higher expectations and achieve realistic goals at the moment. I thank her for all the paddlings and being hard on me when I needed it. A big piece of her is what helped me become the man I am today. It was an honor and a privilege to have known her and share her knowledge and wisdom with me from my childhood and through my younger adult life. Thank you Ms. Resendez for everything, Love Brannon Wood.
