Words can not describe how great of a teacher you were. I know you will never be forgotten in the hearts of the TJMS family. We cherish the moments we had with you and they will never be forgotten. May God lead you to the gates of heaven.

GOD BLESS

Mrs. Burnette was my son Christopher's science teacher at Thomas Johnson M.S. I had the pleasure of meeting her and I was touched by her kind demeanor. My heart goes out to the family. May God be with you.
