A brilliant teacher who came into my life at a crucial time. I have only good memories of my 4th form year at JP II because of "Mrs Menz" and am truly sorry to hear of her passing.

Sincerest condolences go out to her family at this sad time.

I'm so saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs Menzies. She was a truly lovely teacher who went above and beyond for her students-always generous with her knowledge, her experience, her skills, and her life lessons. I feel so grateful to have known her and seen the care she gave to those she taught.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Mrs Menzies.
