Donna, Your mom taught some of us Home Economics in the 1960's at DHS. As I look back, I don't know how she survived us or we survived her. It was fun and I still hear her voice telling me I had to remove the sleeve because I had sewn it not the neck opening. I will pray for you to remember the joyful times!

To the family of Doris Hickman,I am deeply sadden to hear of the loss of Ms. Hickman. I knew her when I was in school at Deweyville and I use to love to talk with her. She was a very sweet lady. I don't ever remember seeing her without a smile on her face. My prayers are with the family. I will lift up the family tonight at our singing at The Pocket Full Gospel Community Church. We can take comfort in knowing the fact that one day soon we will see her again. May God Bless You All.Rev. Donald Ray FrazierPastorPocket Full Gospel ChurchClass of 1983
