Frankie was my mentor the first year I taught. She was a wonderful person with a huge heart and an eagerness to help out whenver you needed a hand. Even though she may be gone, her life still lives on by those that she has taught and mentored and because of that even the children of today are being blessed with the knowledge Frankie had.

Celeste, although my health is keeping me away today and tomorrow from celebrating your wonderful life with your family and friends, you will always have a place in my heart. I treasure your friendship and I know you are finally at peace, resting in God's loving arms. I hope your prayer blanket gave you comfort knowing you were "covered in prayer" by the Columbiettes of St. Michael the Archangel inWoodstock, GA. May all the students you taught and coached in your educational career appreciate your expertise and dedication. Your family will keep your memory alive with stories of your love and devotion. May God grant you eternal rest.Love, Sandy Schroer Sinclair Kubran

So very sad to hear of her passing. She was a tough teacher and demanded and expected a lot from students, but her English class was great. Truly one of my favorite teachers...I discovered a love for Shakespeare and Beowulf and other great literary works because of it. "Out, out brief candle...." You will be missed!

Thinking of Richard, Jenny & all your family. Prayers for you. Love, Jani McIlvaine

She was the first teacher that enabled me to enjoy reading. She was the right kind of tough. I am better off for having been in her class and I would say Ralph Waldo Emerson would agree that she succeeded.

Ms. Broermann was the very best English teacher. She taught me through high school & made reading the timeless classics easy to understand & so enjoyable. She was a teacher that made a difference. Ms. Broermann and her family will be in my prayers.
