I'm 36 now but had Mrs. Henderson as my principal at the original Meriwether Lewis. She was an amazing woman and I will always remember her. The world would be a better place if there were more people like Mrs. Henderson. My love and prayers go out to all who loved her.

Dear Glenn,
It has been more than 25 years since I spent a year in your downstairs guest room while writing my dissertation for the Curry School. I have never forgotten your generous hospitality. Surprisingly, i was asked to take over two student teachers that Sylvia was supervising before her surgery. Life has its funny twists. Glenn, I am so sorry for your loss.

Sylvia,
First, thanks for being such a wonderful mentor to so many on the VAESP Board. Your legislative support for schools will never be forgotten. I remember our last time together as we interviewed NDP Candidates. You held my hand through this process and taught me so much. We will certainly miss your historical perspective...but will never forget you and all that you have done for the children, teachers and principals in FCPS! Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during...

My sympathy to Glenn and his and Sylvia's family.
I was part of Sylvia's staff, in Albemarle County, for four years. She came early, stayed late and ran a tight ship.
She remembered every child who came through her school and was invested in their personal growth as well as their educational achievement. A gifted woman and an interesting one. I am grateful for my time with her and the mentoring she extended to me.

Glen, I was honored to serve on the VAESP Board with Sylvia for many years. She was a valued colleague to us all. I cherish my memories of Sylvia as we attended many state and national conventions together along with Carolyn Coleman, Janice Marston, Tom Hannish, and Troy Rexrode. Her passing is a loss to us all. You and your family are in my prayers. Stan Boren, (Retired Principal from Fairfax County) -Sevierville, TN
