    I worked with Sis for 2 years . She gave unselfishly to all the little children in my first grade class. She bought their school supplies when they could not afford them. She helped them with their lessons when they had difficulty learning. She was always asking ," what do you need or what can I do to help?" She was one of Hills School's hidden gems.... A real angel of mercy ! She touched all who knew her! God bless, Sis! Peace to all family members..
