I wanted to take a minute to thank Peggy Hukill publicly for all of her hard work and dedication – not only to the entire staff of Fallbrook High but also to our kids at Fallbrook High School. She goes in early, stays late, and always helps the kids in the counseling office. She really cares about these kids. She has four of her own children, but has always looked out for all of the kids at the high school and treated them as if they were her own.

The memorials put family members and friends at ease, giving them a sense of peace and closure. For some of those who passed o...
