I would like to extend my condolences to the family of a very dear friend Tina as she was known. Tina and I talked about three weeks before her trip to Texas over the phone one night for three hours. We talked about high school days, she caught me up on different one from the neighborhood I did not live in the neighborhood but I had family that lived behind her mother's home so I was around. We talked about the present. My mother is ill and she was always concern and willing to help out. We did not talk everyday or even everyweek, but she was the type of friend that was never far away. She will be greatly missed, but she's in a better plan now.

She was a wonderful teacher and although I didn't always agree with her, she was still there to help me whenever I needed it. I am sorry for her family and Daughter that are going through this hard time, but believe me it does get alot easier with time. I will be praying for all of ya'll, and Ms. Moton's friends too. I have a picture of Ms.Moton and her daughter from 1995, if anyone would like it, please email me. God Bless you all !!!!

Ms.Moton was a very nice special Teacher to me.
We use to talk all the time at school, when it was time to go home and I used to go up there and talk to her for a while, she was really nice and tried to help me with problems at school, she would tell me to slow down my wheelchair. I would always go talk to her just to see how she was doing and try to cheer her up when she said she did not feel good.
She will be missed so much, but God has a Special Teacher now in heaven.

Knowing Ms. Moton was such an Honor and a Privledge, she taught my son Shaun Burns at Broach. She will be so missed. What a wonderful lady and teacher & friend she was to us all. Heaven has opened it Golden Gates to let a New and Special Angel through.
One Day we shall all see her again.
God bless You Ms.Moton and Thank You for being in our lives.

When they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness! (Acts 4:31).......
To GeGe: I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. But I do want you to know that when you are hurting, prayer soothes a broken heart. My family and I are praying that you will come through this. I will miss your mother. She taught me how to dance. Remember, when God takes one of his children from earth, he's adding one more Angel to heaven.
May God bless you.

The Edward Waters College Family sends its condolences to the family of our "Fallen Tiger". May God continue to bless your family during and after your time of bereavement.

My heart is greatly touched knowing
that I share dearly with you all
in the "homegoing" of lil' Tina, as
I will always remember her. It does
my heart well to have the memories
of her energy and beautiful smile
that she freely shared with all.
She left a mark along life's pathway
in educational, religious, community
and family affairs. I thank God for
having the family as part of my
life. Although I may not be able to
share with you in the "homegoing"
services, I will surely be with you
in prayer.
Thank God for all of you.
