Martha and I taught elective classes at South Park Middle School in Beaumont. She was a sweet friend and always easy to talk to. I am lifting her family and friends up in prayer for comfort.
Martha and I worked together at South Park. We had lunch together for a couple of years. She was always so kind and nice. I also interpreted in her Home Ec. Class for a couple of years. She was WONDERFUL to the kids.
My family sends prayers of sympathy and comfort to the family. Martha and I taught at South Park Middle School together. She was always ready to step up and help her students and they knew how much she cared from them.
Prayers and sympathy for the family. Martha and I taught together at South Park. She was so sweet and the students loved her. May she rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus and perpetual light shine upon her.
