I enjoyed reading this, and I remember our teachers fondly. When I started teaching, I worked with several of them at CHASE middle, and it was surreal. Do you remember that Brandy was with us in Kindergarten at Alexander? When I became a Christian, the first friend I couldn’t wait to tell was Brandy. She loved Jesus, her family, and all her friends.

I do, Jamie. I remember her in Kindergarten at Alexander quite well, actually, and I remember instantly recognizing her when I got to Harris. And thank you for confirming what I strongly suspected--that she loved the Lord.

As Jan sang at Brandy's funeral, "Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them." Nikol also sang it at our graduation.

You know something interesting, Jamie? I knew that was sung at her funeral, and I know "Friends are Friends Forever" is on her grave marker. And I looked at where she signed my 7th grade annual, and what is there but "F/F"? :)
