Mrs. Waterson's left an imprint on numerous children in Gaston County, but none more profound than to my daughter, Anna! She loved being in your 4th grade class at Robinson. You inspired, showed love and compassion, and taught these children how to do their best and be their best! Heaven has gained an angel!
