Mme Jantzen will be missed by the students from past classes at Mason Prep. She went out of her way to help my son, Andrew, after he missed several days due to illness right before final exams. She met us on a Sunday afternoon with books and study materials to help him prepare, but her greatest gift that day was her words of encouragement. From the Kay family, "Reposez en paix et adieu, Mme. Jantzen".
