Thank you Ms. Parker for all that you did to help me succeed in life!
I never developed a fondness for math (as some of your students did) ... but I'm grateful ... because of you, I learned and have been able to manage very well on my own since graduating in 1979!
Rest in Peace!

I remember Ms. Parker very well. I took an Algebra class with her. She enjoyed teaching math and it was quite evident in her lessons. Rest in peace Ms. Parker.

Ms. Parker, she was an excellent teacher. I didn't appreciate how strict she was with us, but she wanted us to learn and, well, I have to admit, I did (despite being put out of her class a couple of times - LOL!)
Thank you Ms. Parker!

My Dear Ms Parker,
I would fortunate (I guess) to have you as my math teacher for 2 years in a row. I really learned how to solve many math problems with your assistance. I can still hear you calling my name "WOOD" can you answer this?
Rest in Paradise.
