Read MoreI realize this is 15 years later, but I taught Avis McGhee at Utoy Springs elementary. Mrs McGhee helped me get hired by Dekalb schools after I returned to teaching after having my children. I´ve never forgotten her kindness and have often wondered what Avis is up to these days! If anyone sees this and can get in touch with Avis I´d really appreciate it.

Your and your family are in my prayers. Delores and I go way back in Jacksonville, Florida. The children in the neighborhood on Phelp Street look forward for "Mittie" to visit her family members every summer. That friendship between us last for a lifetime. She will be remember as one of the greatest teachers of Matthew W. Gilbert High School located here in Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks so much for calling me. I am going to miss her,

Avis, Kirk & Gary,
I loved your mother as if she were my own. Such a pleasant, smart, warm, beautiful, wonderful woman. I so enjoyed our many many great conversations over the last twenty years. I really just loved her so much, as I do all of you. I'm just grateful that I got to see her and give her a kiss before she left our earthly presence. She will be missed but so fondly and lovingly remembered.

To the family of Delores McGhee,
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. McGhee's death . A friend called me today with the sad news. I remember her with much respect when Avis and Kirkland were students in Burgess School and she was active in the PTA and in support of our teachers.
I wish you to know what a wonderful mother you had. My love to the family.
