I was a second grade teacher at Fuqua and Chris was the first and best teacher’s aide I ever had. She was so helpful. The students loved her and so did I. Some of the shy students blossomed with her guidance. After working with her I wondered how I ever got along without her help. I’m sure many people will miss this sweet, lovely lady. Sending my sympathy,
Sincerely,
