Thank you for encouraging individuality and the pursuit of passion. It was an honour to be a part of your teaching and I pray that your classes can do your lessons justice. Thank you for your time, your effort and your resilience. And most importantly thank you for always pointing us towards the Saviour. Your efforts have preceded a beautiful legacy. Thank you God.

Ms Little was one of my teachers for three of the years I attended LAC. She was just amazing, she knew how to calm any situation and put up with so many annoying students. (Myself Included) I miss her smile and the love of Jesus she shared with students every day.

Kelly, so sorry to learn of your Mums passing. Way too young to go. She was always true to herself and a breath of fresh air. You will miss her dearly. Allen and I send our condolences to you and your families.

Dear Ms. Little,

We praise God for such a wonderful person like yourself!
You enlighten us all with your warm smile, and I am very grateful to be in your Bible class at LAC (2000). Thank you for teaching us that life matters most when we have Jesus in our lives.

I recall the day in Mar 2000, when you had to convince Jay, who was an atheist then in class that God exists and he started reading and understanding the Bible and was asking you lots of questions throughout that year. He even came to church when we left LAC and were at Massey. Praise God!

We look forward to meet you in the clouds of glory on that golden morning,

RIP

Miss Little! Its hard on all of the school and its student body to know that we will no longer be spending any more terms with you physically. You will always be in our minds and memories and forever in our hearts! You had an impact on not only those that you taught but those this you didn't teach. We know of this because your heart was just to big to just love your students, you had to love everyone and thats why you leaving us is hurting many of us, old and young. You didn't just teach history miss but you made history! We all love you miss, but God loves you more and he's called you to rest now knowing that you will no longer be in pain and suffering from this sinful world. Last time I saw you, the last time I wrapped my arms around you I knew it wouldn't be the last because miss, i will see you on that glorious day when our heavenly father comes. Love you miss! Gone but never forgotten❤

I have fond memories of a very amazing lady,
I remember when you told me you were a teacher and I can imagine how inspiring you were. You had the perfect personality to be the perfect teacher. Thank you for your kindness & friendship at such an early time in my life. You were a great boss and always gave good advice, even if I didn't always listen. May your beautiful soul rest in peace Forever on my heart

It's so sad to hear of your passing. Ms Little - a woman of great passion for teaching. You were kind, thoughtful and encouraging. Thank you for giving me the love of history! Until we meet again, rest in peace xo

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Francis and I will deeply miss this powerhouse and servant leader of a woman; a committed teacher who encouraged a personal best from all she came in contact with; a colleague and highly valued friend who, through her own pain and physical struggle, supported us through words of kindness and wisdom. We know you were, and are, finally at peace. Be assured we shall meet again. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family at this time. Rest and sleep well Jude, till the next leg of this journey begins.

You are a beautiful human, my friend you were my HOD when I began my teaching career at LAC. You were thoughtful, patient and always encouraging people (myself included) to see the more around them. I have been blessed to learn and grow in my teaching, thank you. #lovedteaching #lovedlearning #challangedthestatusquo

Will never forget the dedication Mrs. Little had for us students. You could tell that she wholeheartedly cared and loved each one of her students, and always wanted them to excel academically and in our spiritual journeys with Christ. She was a role model for us and will always. her faith and love will always be remembered. We miss you Mrs. Little but we will never forget you and your impact on our lives. Rest in love xx

Ms Little was a real influence in my later years at LAC and I feel privileged to have shared some of my more memorable moments with her. Could not have asked for a more patient, witty and passionate teacher.

I will always remember what Mrs Little wrote in my school report. She wrote a witty funny comment.
See you later in the presence of the Lord.
