Not sure what to say?

My dear Elizabeth,
I am truly sorry that I did not get to know you better. I cherish the memories of Jeanne and me visiting you at home.
I rejoice that you are at peace and no longer in pain. It meant so much to me that you were proud of me.
Love, Joyce

My Dear Elizabeth,

You will surely be missed. You were a wonderful sister friend. Julia

Dr. Hadley's spirit will truely be missed in this world, for it has gone on to grace another. She charged all she knew to think diffferently about ourselves and the world around us. She taught us the importance of looking not only forward but back and to never be afraid to speak your mind. Im glad I choice to take one of her classes at Simmons. Thanks for you words Dr. Hadley. May your family continued to be blessed.

From the time you first stepped through the classroom door and announced "I am DOCTOR Elizabeth Hadley", I knew you were someone special, I just had no idea how much you would impact my life. Your words of wisdom and encouragement stay with me forever. I hope you knew how special you were to me! I am so disheartened to realize that we won't have another Thanksgiving together but I am comforted by knowing that you are at rest. You will always be remembered! Thanks for everything. May God...

The discussions we had in your classroom represented the true college classroom experience I was hoping to obtain. What I learned from you has broadened my perspective on so many encounters I have faced thus far in my life. Your wisdom was admirable. I will always remember you Dr. Hadley!

When I didn’t know
Who I was…
Where I was…
Why I was…
You helped me to find out.

Because of you
Who…

Forever grateful for your contributions to the Simmons Village,
For helping to raise me up- from a child to a woman…

Rest, Dr. Hadley…
…Rest… knowing that God is saying “well done!”

Although I did not have you as a professor, I knew enough about you to know that you touched the entire Simmons Community and beyond. You will be missed, you were a living legend. You don't have to suffer anymore, I wish you peace as you rest forever in the Lord's Holy land. God Bless You and your family.

During my very first class my freshman year, I declared "I will try not to get emotional talking about these topic". You cut me off and said "Emotional? No, that's passion!"

From that point on, I made sure to take one of you classes every semester during my 4 years at Simmons. I will never forget the countless times I've walked out of your classroom, feeling like a zombie because I had just witnessed a touching documentary or had yet another dynamic conversation. I will never...
