 On behalf of Don Maguire and his daughters Kerry and Amma and her nephews Daniel and Andrew as well as the extended family and friends, we would like to express our gratitude¹ for all the love and support over these past troubled months, we recognise the supportive role of the police in all of these and the church community especially all the support given by M. Today we are all the more aware of the tragic² happening of that day in the classroom, a day that changed the lives of Ann Maguire's family for ever, this has impacted on so many people's lives, families, Corpus Christi College, its students and staff, the many friends, former students, colleagues and the wider school community in Leeds and throughout the country. We look to the future with a fragile hope, we wish that nothing of Ann's life be lost, that she will be remembered as a life's partner, a mother, a sister, a nana Ann, an auntie, a genuine teacher with her generous spirit who led by example, always putting others first, especially young people, their learning and their spiritual lives, it is important for the family to recognise that this special woman by asking you to support the Ann Maguire foundation, for the continuance of music and creativity in young people by donating to Ann Maguire.com.
