Thank you, Mrs. Lawrence, for providing the best second-grade experience one could ask for! Go Englewood Bears. Thank you, again, for helping me convince my mom that I needed glasses, and I wasn't faking the funk to get glasses because my cousin recently got a new pair. May you rest peacefully.

Soooo very sorry to learn of Evelyn's passing. She was a true professional, and a real asset to the Rocky Mount School system. Evelyn was also a devoted mother and wife. It was a privilege to be her friend. Barbara Bastian
My prayers and condolences go to the Lawrence family. Mrs. Lawrence was an extremely important person to me. I was blessed to have her as my first grade teacher at Wilkinson Elementary School, during the second year of integration in Rocky Mount. She had an extremely positive influence on "a little colored boy from Happy Hill" I am definitely a better person for having known her. I was blessed to see her and Mr. Lawrence over the years at various stages in my life, at every stage Mrs. Lawrence was teaching. I will cherish the memories, and continue to try to make her proud. #RIP
