Mrs. Hauser was one of the most upbeat, spunky, kind-hearted women I had the pleasure of knowing! Through the strength she showed, she reminded me just how precious life is and how no matter what obstacles you face, you must forge ahead with a positive outlook. A few days prior to her return home to Heaven, as I swung by to visit her with my mother, she showed that heart-warming smile, sense of humor, and feisty attitude she seemed to always have with her! May God bless her always and forever in my heart, she will be!
Yaj, what a woman. Working with her was fun, knowing her was wonderful. She was always upbeat and positive. She would always tell you the way it was without sidestepping. I loved her for who she was and will miss her terribly. She fought a long and hard battle with dignity and love. May God bless you Yaj and may you finally rest in peace.
Mrs. Hauser was a Teacher’s Aide in one of the classes I was in in High School. She was a very sweet lady and had a bright personality, loved working with students, and with Mrs. Rohan! She always had something to say that made you laugh/smile.
Thoughts & Prayers with her family!
Yaj and I would meet for coffee every so often. She was such a kind person and I loved her spunk and how she told it like it was. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
We all love you Yaj and may God and his angels welcome you into his heavenly home.

Yaj, Your students were so very fortunate to have your care and kindness each day, no matter what you were going through. Your dedication was an example to all. Rest eternally.
Mookie, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I haven’t seen you since your promotion/transfer, but have often wondered how she was doing. I felt terrible when Tad told me this morning. Find peace and strength to know she is in a pain-free , and beautiful place. She will guide and look over your family forever. God Bless
