Miss B was my 3rd grade teacher in 1980. She was my favorite teacher of all time. I used to see her from time to time and she always called me Pillip. She left a forever impression on my life. She will be missed.

Rest in Peace my friend. I had Miss Hicks as my 3rd grade teacher at 10th district. She was one of my favorite teachers and had a special place in my heart. I would go back several times a year and see her throughout the school year. I even got to student teach with her when I was a Jr/Sr in high school in my vocational school classes. She was an awesome lady and will be missed by all. Truly sorry for her family's loss.
