I am glad that she has and will continue to withstand and persevere against the forces all around that have tested and most certainly will continue to try and derail her work.

I am so happy to have been able to hear this man share sports over the years. I would turn on ESPN and hear his broadcast and couldn't turn it off until the highlights were done. His voice and intensely descriptive representation of that which was playing out on the screen made it even more exciting. He brought a spirit and joy to the screen uncommon and unique. Thank you Mr. Stuart Scott. I feel like I have known you as personally as is possible over the TV screen. Glad to have been able to experience your talent and work for so many years. Peace be with you and your family.

As an educator, I have been privileged to work with good people, warm hearts and joyful spirits. I have seen many youth find strength and purpose in their lives. In a crowd of hundreds, miles and years removed from our time together, it was great to see you, J.R., and to know you are doing well on your journey.
