MY BELLS OF PRAYER AND LOVE ARE RINGING FOR PAM AND HER FAMILY. I REMEMBER "MISS MCGHEE" THAT IS WHAT HER CLASS CALLED HER. SHE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BELOVED TEACHERS AT CHARLES M. HALL SCHOOL IN ALCOA, TENNESSEE. SHE WAS MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER FROM 1955 - 1956. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HER. MY MOTHER, WILLIE LOUISE MCNEAR, WHO ALSO TAUGHT THIRD GRADE WERE DEAR FRIENDS, ALONG WITH MY FOURTH GRADE TEACHER, "MISS THELMA CARR." PAM AND I WERE FRIENDS ALSO. "MISS MCGHEE" HAD GREAT TASTE, STYLE, AND NATURAL TALENT. MY PRAYERS AND HEARTFELT CONDOLENCE ARE WITH THE FAMILY.

To The Family, Mrs. McGhee was one of my teachers at Maynard Elmentary School. She was a carrying teacher who always dressed nice. Although, it has been some years since elementary school, I will remembered her warm smile and for being a carrying, dedicated teacher. My prayers and condolences are with the family. May God continue to keep his loving arms around each of you.

Mildred Johnson

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
