Susan Robertson robesus2@isu.edu I worked with Britney @ the ISU Early Learning Center as Britney's supervisor. Britney was one my best employees for many,many reasons but, the biggest reason is because of the natural talent she had of working with children. She loved them and treated each of them with kindness, respect and dignity. They knew she loved them , and they loved her back. All of us that worked with Britney also enjoyed her. She was easy to be around and had a wonderful smile. I'm truly sorry for your loss of Britney. Please know that I'm thinking of you and that Britney made a difference in the lives of the children and adults that she worked with at the ELC, she will be deeply missed.
