Bobbie was an excellent mentor teacher. She was always someone that you could go to for help and advice. My sympathy to the Vann family.

Mrs. Vann was very intimidating to me as a 6th grader. She was the very first teacher to give me below a "B" in any of my classes, so my mother went to visit her! Little did we know that I had a reading comprehension problem that she brought to our attention. To this day I still think of her when I'm reading a book and have to tell myself to slow down. Sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

My Grandmother was the best. Everything that is good in me and due to her and my Grandfather. She helped with my education of course, but taught me all things we need to know in life..... including which fork to use, and how to set a table. I could go on all day... I love and miss you Grandma.
