I will always remember Dr. Byrd . What an awesome woman . She saw the greatness in you when you didnt see it in yourself. She saw greatness in me and I will forever cherish those memories . Madame Deloris Williams Phillips- student 1990 Benedict College

Madame Byrd was truly the "MADAME"! Her French instruction was the best. She took me under her wings and helped me navigate the course through Benedict College. She inspired and encouraged me. A joy and laughter to know and behold! I learned of her transition several months afterward. Saddened. A phenomenal woman, indeed!

Dr. Byrd, you will be missed. You were one of my favorite professors at Benedict College. I'm glad I had the chance to advance my knowledge of French with such an astounding woman. She was funny & full of life yet stern in class , making sure students were giving their full potential. Love always, Reaya.

Dr. Bryd was my literature teacher at Benedict in 1982. She taught me the importance of social activism and just by requiring all of her students to get a bible helped to change my life. Fiesty, learned, tireless, and Black Griot is how I remember her. Rest now, you are the definition of a good and faithful servant...

Separate an apart from her outstanding record of academic and professional accomplishment, Dr. Byrd was a kind and decent human being. She always conducted herself with a quiet and unassuming dignity. She was kind to me, as she was to all who knew her, and she will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to Dr. Byrd's family. May she rest in peace.

Dr. Byrd was one of the sweetest persons I have ever know. I'm so happy I had the chance to know her and share her company at various times. She was truly special to us all.

The world has lost an angle and I have lost a friend. She made a positive difference in my life. May the Lord give comfort to her family in this time of lost.
