Still think about her all the time and the lessons she taught me about English and life. I wouldn't be a writer today if not for her encouragement. Such a kind and patient soul.
My deepest condolences to Beth, Celeste, and the entire family. Mrs. Aceves was far and away my favorite teacher. She opened entire worlds to me through the books she recommended. She seemed to understand me in a way no other teacher ever did. And she was the catalyst for a lifetime's continued joy in reading. That she did the same for countless students who crossed her path in her long service just emphasizes her importance to the world. No tribute could be more fitting.
Jeanne, Roseanne, Mary Anne, Celeste, Beth, Charles & David,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom but I remember when I first moved to Covington and was enrolled at St Peter's in 8th grade. I felt out of place as a newcomer but she helped me feel very welcome indeed. She also saw that I got the help I needed for my studies. I remember having a nun for a tutor one year and we met at the public library in Covington. What do I remember from those sessions? That chewing Dentyne was not ladylike behavior. Love you guys a lot. Take good care. Love, Lindy
Celeste and family
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Your mother seems to have touched many lives. I will pray that you all find peace and comfort and are able to speak of her often to keep her memory alive.

Jeanne, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. You and your family are in.my prayers during this difficult time.
A beautiful woman..a loving mother...a devoted wife....she was the whole package. And her children's love says it all. She is in a better place now. She can look down on you like she used to be again. So only think of her like she would want to be remembered. That's your tribute to her now. To each other too. All my love...Adrianne and Clifford
Dear Aceves Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of your Mom. She was a wonderful lady who was always so kind. I am blessed that she influenced my life in so many wonderful ways...as a teacher, a neighbor, and the mother of you, my friends. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
