Not sure what to say?

I had the honor of playing young Jimmie Kate in "Christmas Gift" at the Art Station in Stone Mountain 5 years ago. I had an even greater honor of meeting the lovely lady whom I played. What an amazing woman! From her childhood memories that were captured in the play to her very real and amazing self- I could see that Jimmie Kate was a woman of great principles and true compassion. This was a woman who I did not want to emulate just for a script, but a lady whose character I will strive to...

MRS COLE WAS MY ENGLISH TEACHER IN
1955. I TALKED TO HER IN 2000 AT A
CLASS REUNION

I graduated F.C.H.S. in 1956. Mrs Cole was truly a (much needed)inspiration in my life. She will always be in my memory.

Mrs. Cole was a very special person and the world is diminished by her passing.

Mrs. Cole was a very special person and teacher. She was so well loved by so many people.I send my love to all her family. Ann Swanson Jones

Mrs. Cole was my English teacher back in 1960-61. She not only was the best teacher but a wonderful person. She was always my very favorite. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. She truly made a difference in my life.

She was a dear and precious friend and classmate.

Farewell to a much admired lady.
