I was so sorry to hear of Georgie´s passing. She was an excellent caring teacher,colleague and friend. When we first met, we coincidentally traveled to Spain on the same flight during Spring break. That´s when I got to see her great sense of humor, zest for life, and extreme dedication to her teaching career. Rest in peace my little friend Georgie. You touched many young lives and will not be forgotten.

To Miss Gibson's Family, I was a student of Miss Gibson. Please accept my condolences on her passing. In addition to being a good teacher, she was a very caring individual. During my time at SHS, I went through a very difficult personal time. Miss Gibson reached out to help me. I don't know if she ever knew how much I appreciated her caring. I'm sure you know, she was a very special human being. May she rest in peace.
