		<description>&lt;p&gt;Mrs. Smith was my forth grade teacher in 2000 and 2001. I just recently graduated from Melbourne Highschool with Honnors. I&#039;m going to be attended UNF in the fall to major in Chemistry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mrs. Smith has always been there for me since I had her for a teacher when i was in forth grade. She kept in touch with me after I moved. She was my best friend and ana amazing lady. Words couldn&#039;t come close to describing how much she means to my heart. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wasn&#039;t informed she had passed. I recently was in Pensacola visiting my old best friend since forth grade, Chelsea Prather. I met her in third grade but we hated eachother&#039;s guts until we got a chance to get to know eachother in Mrs. Smith&#039;s class. I asked about Mrs. Smith and I cried my eyes out the moment I heard she had passed the previous year. Mrs. Smith and I e-mailed eachother throughout the years and when they stopped I always had her in the back of my mind wondering how she was doing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The E-mails stopped because she had passed. It honestly broke my heart knowing another generation of forth graders has to go on without her in their life. She is a big part of who I am today and I want the world to know that she is and always will be an amazing lady. She is truly blessed by God and so is and was every child that ever had the oppertunity to encounter such an angel in their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My forth grade year, March 16, 2001, I was hit by a car. Just that friday I got out of class and gave Mrs. Smith a HUGE hug good-bye. Later on that day I had my head slammed literally through a windsheild. The next day, Mrs. Smith was in the hospital holding my hand. She had her favorite Lisa Frank accessories for me with a loving smile on her face. I will never forget a word she told me that day. I love he with all my heart and I pray that everyone remembers just as much as I do. That when every forth grader grows up, they remember her inspiring motos and her gracious love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I pray that every human being that has ever met her, will always remember the same loving and blessed woman I think about and thank everyday of my life. I have never forgotten her, and I will never. She blessed my heart. And Dear God, I miss her. But I know he has her with him smiling down on all of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mrs. Smith, Thank you for all your love and inspiration. You&#039;ve changed my life, and I know you&#039;ve changed thousands. You&#039;re in my heart, you&#039;re in God&#039;s arms, and you&#039;re in infinite memories. I love you so much, and I will definately miss you dearly.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>My mother just found out about this article.  I attended Molino Elementary with my great aunt, Sharon, from kindergarten to 5th grade; she actually being my 4th grade teacher. Those were the best 6 years I’ve ever experienced. I’m speechless about this article and the ‘Persons of the Year for 2008″ article. From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of Mrs. Smith’s family. Thank you. Thank you so very much for honoring her memory is such a touching and unforgettable way.</description>

		<description>I met her when she first came to Molino Elementary in the 70&#039;s.  She was known then as Miss Sharon Dawson.  She was tall and thin and had this big afro.  She came at the time of desegregation to our school.  Everyone loved her , as I was beyond the grade she taught  she made a wonderful impression on me but she taught my sister and my sister loved Miss Dawson (Smith)  She was a wonderful lady and will always be a part of our history at Molino Elementary.  Miss Sharon we will never forget you.  May God Bless you and keep you safe in his arms.    Class of &quot;73&quot;</description>
