Dear Mr. Backe (:

hello (: karen here! how are you Mr. Backe? i hope you're doing fine... and condolence ): it's sad that this happened. since we won't see you until after Christmas break i can't wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year in person. i hope you get through this and we really hope we could see you tomorrow - last day- so we can all give you a big hug. we REALLY miss you, math class is different without Mr. backe making fun of everyone and teaching us new things. you are a great teacher and you've already taught us a lot of things not just about math. you have dedicated soo much time and effort to help us and make us better students. you were there for us to help and we will do the same for you(: we really wish you can come back sooner but we know that you need time, i hope you still enjoy your Christmas. we can't wait to see you next year (:

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
