What a sweet Christian lady, wonderful friend and mentor, compassionate and dedicated teacher. I have known her since I was a young teenager and had the privilege of working with her at Stowers Elementary School. She truly loved God, her family, her church,and teaching young people. Her life was an example to all who knew her. May God comfort the family until we all meet again in heaven.
