I so remember Ms Pond in my 4th grade class. I know that she favored me and another classmate because we were the tiniest 4th graders. She showed us grade care and love. I will always have the fondest memories of being in her class. She was a great teacher!

Koochie was a special person and one of my favorite neighbors on Oliver Street. She always smiled and made us younger kids feel welcome. My condolences to her family and friends.

Koochie was a great neighbor and friend. She always greeted everyone with a smile. She helped my mother and I out on numerous occasions and it was greatly appreciated.
She will be missed.

Koochie was a long time Oliver Street neighbors of ours. The Ponds, as were many of our neighbors, were a warm and generous family. Koochie, like her mom, was a special lady. Condolences to both family and close friends.

My sister, Linda, and I both have fond memories of Kooch. She was one of our neighbors on Oliver Street. She was our first babysitter (after Grandma), she was our swimming instructor, and later, our friend. She gave us rides to school when the weather was bad. She was just an all around "good egg"! Godspeed, Kooch!! We loved you.

Ms Pond was a very special teacher because I loved her in the 4th grade and always thought of her fondly throughout the years. I always considered myself as a teacher's pet in her class, but I am sure she made everyone of her students feel that way. I will always remember her. May she RIP and continue to teach in heaven.
