Susan, I will keep you in my heart forever. I love you!
Dear Susan,
I shall remember you for your artistic contributions to the E.L.F. Program at Monroia and Hall Elementary Schools. Mardi Gras was always a special time with the making of masks. Susan, may the
Lord bless and keep you and may you rest in peace.
I had every intention on paying my respects to you and your family and friends but I have a nasty cold ߘ·so not coming is more respectable.
Thank you for your friendship when we were younger old friend. I remember hanging out practicing your flute and me the clarinet. You were so much better than I was!
Forgive me for not knowing that both your parents went before you. Working at Value Plus I would see one of you at least once a month. However, when they closed I lost touch.
Thank you for coming to my first baby shower almost 40 years ago.
I pray for peace and comfort for your family and all your loved ❤️ones and your students. You will be missed, greatly. You loved teaching.
Rest In Peace, Ms Colbert.
