Dear Schlock Family,

I am quite saddened to see that Miss Schlock passed away. I would like to express my sincere condolences to all of you.

Miss Schlock was my gym teacher at Ernie Davis. I was very fortunate and thankful to have had her 2 years in a row. Miss Schlock was always so kind and encouraging to every student in her class! She never failed greeting you with a big, warm and bright smile. All of her wonderful attributes made Ms. Schlock one of those teachers forever memorable in your heart.

Heaven has another angel to join its choir.

May Miss Schlock RIP.

With deepest sympathy and love.
