Mrs. Bryant... you were my 5th grade teacher at Paxinosa Elementary school. I am now 39 years old with children of my own! You were the only black teacher that I could remember back then & taught me anything was possible that you put your mind to.

You were fierce, strong, and never tolerated disrespect! You were an example of what a young woman should be and strive for! I thank you for everything that you taught me at 10 years old ,and for being a role model to all of the children that you have taught throughout the years.

You will never be forgotten & I pray you are at peace. My prayers are with the family at this difficult time and just know she was loved by many!
