My thoughts and prayers are with Margaret´s family. Her smile and kind words made dreary days brighter. We taught together at Albemarle for many years and I was lucky to have had the opportunity to share social times with her and her fellow Business teachers as well. Many will miss her.

My sympathy to Margaret´s family on the loss of their mother and grandmother. It was always a treat to meet her in the AHS halls as she was the kindest, most thoughtful teacher/friend who ever taught there and I´m sure that smiling face and sense of humor will truly be missed. We were all lucky to have known her!

Mrs. Burruss was my Accounting teacher at AHS. She was so sweet, kind and patient and a reflection of her Savior in a challenging environment. Thanks to her, I went on to pursue business and receive my MBA.
