I was searching for the teacher who taught me everything about our Black History and I found her here. I wish that I could share all o Gn the great things that she told me about. In 2023, I´m seeing things that she spoke about come to pass. I remember Ms. Brown taking me to Chester City Hall for a Black History tribute before Chester City Council and now I will be on Chester City Council. Thank you Ms. Brown and I send my sincere condolences to the family.

To the Daughters, Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren & Extended Family of my childhood elementary school educator Isola D. Brown. I extend to you my deepest and heartfelt condolences. I have often thought and carried the memories of her ever caring and kind ways with me through my years of growth. Her character I remember to be unwavering in her beliefs for fairness, gentle in deed with a presence that commanded respect whenever she walked a hall or entered a room. I admired these qualities in her I grew into womanhood and thought of her... My heart is heavy. Learning of her passing caught me totally off guard. I will miss her presence here on Earth. But I let not my heart be selfish. I understand that God knew best. She poured her soul into everything she touched, her work here has been well done... He needed her to teach even far greater things...in Heaven.
