To God be the Glory for the life of Bess Pentecost or Ms Petticoat as the students miscalled her. She was one of the greatest lights in my life and I was so blessed to have lunch with her every day for three years as I came to Carver to teach English but left having met a lady like her!! I cannot tell you how much and how hard we laughed and what a wise mentor she was to me! I was 23 years old and she made each day a blessing! She was an excellent teacher and loved her students! I look...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My condolences to her family and friends. Mrs. Pentecost was a very special person. I will never forget the love and care she gave me. We lived in the apartment in front of theirs. Their door was always open for me. She was one of a kind another angel take flight.

Condolences to the family of Mrs. Pentecost.

Mrs Pentecost was a great lady. Mrs P was not only a friend but a mentor to me as I started off as a teacher and later as an Assistant Principal at Ensley. Her wisdom and advise was beneficial to me when I later became a principal . On top of all this Mrs P was a first class lady! May God welcome her into Paradise and May He bless get family and friends. John Ippolito
