I was out of town but received the news upon my return. I was saddened to hear about her passing. As one of her supervisors at Columbus City Schools, Mable always moved to the beat of a different drummer, and I loved her for that. I am sure she is up in Heaven telling folks what to do. She will truly be missed. God blsss all of you.
