“She would never not let a student not have something they want even if they had an abundance of it. She could not let a student go hungry, no clothes, whatever... she provided it,” Renaldo O’Neal, principal of Horizon Science Academy said.
A celebration of life that touched so many.
“I just remember all the smiles, the good mornings. She was full of joy and there was never a time when I seen her sad. She never cried. She was just full of joy all the time and she spread it around the school,” Keighlyn Hardin-Moore, a student said.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized but school officials said a repast or shared meal by friends, family, staff, and students will be held on campus Saturday.
