Tenita Jean Palmer Pickeral

Thank you for your warm and understanding methods of teaching. I always felt your desire to direct this former student the methods of "from the bottom up" was so sincere. The "using the pencil for calculations" vs. the hand-held calculator will stick with me the rest of my life. This has paid off for me in my professional as well as personal life!

I will never forget you!
Peace of our Savior!

In memory of a very special lady. I loved her so much. I could go to her with any problem and she would help me solve it. I enjoyed all the talks we had each week when she came to the house. She bought the coffee, a certain kind that we both liked. She did so much for me and I will miss her so much. I don't think i ever met anyone that I admired and respected more than I did Tenita. It would take a long time for the hurt to go away, but I know she is happy and healthy now and we can...

I was so sad to hear of Tenita's passing. I did not find out the news until after the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are will you all at this time and are especially with Ginger my dear friend.

I send with you and your family my prayers and deepest sympathies. I had Mrs. Pickeral as my teacher in a number of classes at National and she was a blessing to me.

Larry, Reba and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I loved Tenita, as I do your whole family. She tutored me through calculus and was the reason I got my degree. She was an amazing example of how to be a successful, Godley woman. I have more memories than space to list. However, we will reminisce with her in heaven someday! We are praying for you.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. She will be dearly missed my everybody who knew and loved her.

Brian, Kim, Brian Jr, Kerry, Jeffrey and Eldridge Palmer

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Pickeral family. I was a student of Mrs. Pickeral’s at National College. She was an amazing woman of faith who inspired her students to persevere. I know that had it not been for her constant encouragement and patience I would have given up many times. She had a way of making you feel special and was never too busy for her students. This world has lost an incredible woman who was truly an inspiration to all who knew her.
