Not sure what to say?

Like the South African's post below mine, I was only recently made aware of this amazing lady through a C.S. Lewis documentary. After a little research, I realized she and I might have crossed paths at some point.

Although I am by no means expert, I am definitely a huge fan of C.S. Lewis. Read most of his books, and it was through our common love of all things "Lewis" that Suzie Q and I first met, in California, at a small gathering of like minds, she flying in from NOLA and I...

I had not heard of Dabney until I saw a documentary about C. S. Lewis in which she featured. But having now Googled Dabney, found that I was 5 years too late, for she is now late!

She inspired and encouraged many callow English majors; meeting her was a blessing. Thank you, Dr. Hart!

My deepest condolence to the Dabney Family.
May you draw comfort from God's love to give you strength and peace during your time of loss.

Well done and Godspeed, Dabney! You were a wonderful friend and teacher and I'm proud to have known you.

Dabney was an inspiration to her students. She came to The Bolles School twice at our invitation to lecture to the English faculty. We had fun together. I remember visiting her at FSU. She was patient with her young cousin and served as my mentor for my own teaching career. And the summers at Beersheba were always organized when Dabney was around. How I will miss her!

I had the pleasure of meeting Dabney when I was a student at Georgia State University. She was a gifted teacher and a delightful person. My condolences to her family.

Dear Adamses, I shall miss my good friend and lovely lady very much. I have known Dab since 1948 and we have had some delightful times together.
I loved her dearly.
