My mom called me this morning to tell me that my favorite teacher has passed.
I'm so sad to hear this news, she was a wonderful women & teacher. She devoted all her time to her students inside school and outside school. I remember going to church with her, going shopping with her, cooking in her kitchen as she taught me. I'm now 33 yrs. old with two children of my own. When my mom called this morning I was getting ready for work she told my oldest to let me know and I told my son all about her. She was the best teacher a student could ever ask for. She cared a lot about her student’s. Not only did she teach me how to read and write but she taught me how to be bright in everyway. She is a teacher I will never forget.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends, sorry for your loss.
