Mrs. Alexander was by far the BEST TEACHER in Montgomery County Schools System. She was caring, beautiful spirit, and mean where it needed and counted. She did not play the radio! I was one of those students she constantly stayed on. I didn't know it then but not only did she do it out of the fact that she was my father's cousin, she did it out of pure love. She was our very own Patti Labelle when we did our best (she would sing one of her songs to us when we did good) and Joe Clark when we didn't try. If the school system now had more of her, it would be unstoppable. She was one of the GREAT ONES! I will always love and cherish her. She will never be forgotten in my heart. I will always love you sweet lady.

Condolences to Mrs. A's family and friends. She was my best teacher and always disciplined with love. It was her mission that every child was shown love and support in her classroom. I often refer back to some of her teachings to get me through a difficult day. May God grant you peace in knowing that her time here on earth was purposeful in the eyes of so many❤

This woman right here was a TEACHER! A disciplinarian who would get you in line quick, then make you come up to her where she whispered to you about how to act and why you needed to get your education. Then send you back to your chair to think about it. Oh yes! She has touched a lot of children lives ...and their behinds when they needed it. Rest Well Mrs. Alexander. You have done exceptional things. We are grateful for every day we got to spend in your class. Thank you for your service. My condolences to the family. From a proud Loveless Aumnus.
