Our children attended Starmount Preschool from 2000 - 2005 and one of our sons was in her class. She was always the sweetest person and so clearly loved children and serving God. We feel priviledged to have been a part of her extended "family" and will not forget her. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To Mrs. White's Family ... Even before we arrived in Greensboro as brand new residents, our friend Stephanie Cashwell had already signed our daughter up at Starmount Preschool, telling us all about the wonderful person named Susan White. She was all that and so much more. A total of 4 Nunez children attended and Susan became more than a teacher, a friend. Our kids would be excited to go to school and see her greeting everyone with warm hugs, and they loved delivering an annual plate of Christmas cookies to her. Susan was a remarkable person, a great educator and a wonderful second mother to so many. She is now an extraordinary Guardian Angel, we are sure ... and she will be missed by generations. We will keep this great lady and all of you in our prayers.
