Let's pray for Karen's family ... and for each other! 

Tomorrow really is not promised, so please don't waste any more time ...  LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE like there is no tomorrow!

My prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Karen Johnson Hill.  RIP dear classmate.

Karen Johnson (Hill), I had to click on your picture the name I recall so well.  Mr. Riddle's class 10th grade as  tears rolled down my cheeks and a smile came over my face. I can recall your quiet but still voice, and laughter that class was funny with all you Karens (Geometry). R.I.P.

Brenda Perrin (Arrington)

I'm sorry to hear about Karen passing, may God give here family strength.

Adrienne Adams Baltimore, I had to go back at look at your picture and later I will be going through the Langley Jr. High Scool Year Book, class of 76, McKinley 79 another classmate gone. R.I.P.  May her family find comfort knowing that she is now at peace. My deepest condolences and prayers to her family.

Veronica "Tina" Lassiter (Hudson)

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Adrienne Adams-Baltimore.  Adrienne was a neighbor and a good friend of mine.  We all grew up on V ST. N..E. a.k.a (The Hill)..  She was always so sweet and kind.  I remember hearing of her coming down with a debilitating illness shortly after we graduated from high school and I was so devasted to learn that such a sweet and kind person like herself had become ill.  However, upon seeing her, you would never know that she was ill because she always kept a smile on her face and that joyful spirit about her.  My sincere condolences and prayers go out to her family during this time of bereavment.  Rest in Paradise my precious friend.

Charmaine Thrower (Franklin)

So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. May Father Yahuah God comfort you all.

Marion Woodfork (Simmons)

On April 19, 2024, I retired from my 40-year career in software development. I am moving on to the next phase of my life by growing my company, Woodfork Genealogy LLC, and pursuing my passion for preserving family and community history.

Woodfork Genealogy LLC offers personal historian services that empower and assist ordinary people in preserving history by transforming their memories, photographs, and memorabilia into compelling local history books or memoirs.

Joyce Garrett, a retired District of Columbia public school music educator and choir director, was one of my clients.  I am happy to announce that her memoir "Excellence Without Excuses: A Music Teacher's Odyssey" is now available.

Garrett began her career as a music educator at Langley Junior High in 1966. She transferred to Eastern High School in 1972, where she was a music educator and choir director for over thirty years. The choir received worldwide recognition in 1988 when they won second place in an elite international music competition in Vienna, Austria.

Garrett used her passion for teaching and love of music to connect with her students, inspire and motivate them to dream beyond their immediate environment and transform their lives in ways they could never imagine.

Her memoir is a story of love, determination, perseverance, community support, and triumph. It will uplift and inspire you and restore your faith in humanity.

I am honored to have helped her tell her story.

Emmett Driggers

Thoughts and prayers for comfort to all affected by the loss of our classmates. 
Condolences going out to Rufus and family for the loss of their father.

Greetings all, this message goes out to Ms  Marion! Congratulations on your retirement and future endeavors! Peace and blessings to all,
