My condolences to Jane and Ms. Cayanan’s friends and family. She was both my kindergarten teacher and my son’s, and she never forgot a student. 30 years later she remembered my name, she could remember any memories made during your time in her class. May she rest in peace, prayers to all.
Our condolences to the Cayanan family. Mrs. Cayanan was a wonderful teacher. She not only taught my husband Nick, but our daughter Haley as well. She will truly be missed.
Mrs. Cayanan was my Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher at Ridge Elementary back in ‘89 & ‘90. I absolutely loved her and was beyond excited to have her for two years in a row. I still get excited about that. She was the foundation to my education and I want to thank her for that. My condolences and prayers go to her family & friends. She was such a sweet and wonderful person. Thank you Mrs. Cayanan!
Mrs. Cayanan had my son Joseph for kindergarten. He was a student with special needs and Mrs. Cayanan was a special teacher with enough kindness and patience to guide both of us through his kindergarten years as we tried to figure out what would work for him. She was a lovely lady and we were both lucky to have her in our lives. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family. Our loss is heaven’s gain. May she rest in peace.
I had the pleasure of teaching with Adoracion when I was teaching at Ridge. We continued our friendship over the years, while I taught kindergarten at another school. Adoracion was a dedicated teacher, who loved the children and received their love and respect in return. I loved to hear her laugh and recall her love of family and gardening. May she rest in peace. My condolences to her family and friends.
Mrs. Cayanan was my son Crispin’s kindergarten teacher. A very caring and lovely person, she was a dedicated teacher to generations of students.
Mrs. Cayanan was my grandson Jack Burke’s kindergarten teacher her last year of teaching at Ridge Elementary. She was the foundation of his learning. He now is a STEM student in the 8th grade. My sympathies to all her family.
