Theresa and Mederise,My sympathies in your loss, and in the loss for the vast number of children she taught in her career. How many of us followed in her footsteps as educators? The seeds planted early on grow the deepest, and your mother nurtured all of us. I do remember Belmont Elementary School! God bless.
It was the influence of great teacher like Mrs. Morrow that I became a teacher. I have always remembered her fondly since second grade. She touched many lives and hearts as a teacher. I hope that one day I am remembered as fondly. Shelia Chewning
