As a family we were extremely fortunate to have had Mrs Rattray teach 2 of our 3 sons in primaries 1 and 2. Our daughter was delighted to find out she was to be taught by her in primary 1, but sadly her illness prevented this. She was so welcoming and had such a nurturing way, which was so valued by us leaving our young children for the first time, and I know this helped them settle quickly. She was always ready with a warm smile and had a really calm manner. A truly lovely lady and wonderful teacher who is very much missed but fondly remembered. I can’t imagine the pain of her loss to her family, but hope they are sustained in their grief by many happy memories.
