  • 09/03/2024

    First of all, I want to say to Brian, Adam, Andrew Samuel and Sam... I am very sorry for your loss. It's been 25 years since I had Ms. Radakovich for a math teacher at Harding, but I will always remember her as a caring, compassionate and patient person. I say patient, because I wasn't the best student (slacker, procrastinator) and she never lost her temper with me. Ever. She was a beautiful person, inside and out and will be missed.

  • 09/03/2024

    To the Radakovich & Turrentine Families: What a gift your Mom was to all of her students, including our daughter Shea. She was an advocate for each child she encountered and we will never forget her. God Bless you. She meant so much to so many!
