To the family of Mrs. Dolores Brown,

Unfortunately, I am just hearing of Mrs. Brown's passing.  Tears of both joy and sadness flow from eyes -- for she has received her crown and now rejoices with her sister, Mrs. McMurray, her parents, The Clintons, and with so many other family and friends, including my parents, Samuel and Eloise Spann and my mother's twin sister, Louise Covington (all schoolmates at SCSC). My parents always spoke highly of their friend, Dolores Clinton (Brown).  My dad often shared stories of her playing the piano at SCSU; your mother pledged my mother into the sorority at SCSU and they were proud sisters of that great organization.  

For me, Mrs. Brown was one of my favorite teachers.  She had an impact on me early in life as a teacher who took individual interest in art and etiquette.  As a child in her 4th grade class, I had the worse handwriting; Mrs. Brown changed that forever and so many times, more than I can count even today, -- when I sign my name or write in cursive, I think of her because I always tried to copy every letter as she wrote.  I remember thinking that she wrote the patterns that children used in schools to learn how to write letters in cursive.  That's been over 40+ years ago, and the thought and impact remain. She was loving, kind and always encouraging to me.  Often, when I would return home and would see her, she would brighten those moments for me with a smile  and her genuine joy in getting to know  what I was doing in my life. 

 The angels  in heaven are singing even more melodiously because she's now a part of that angelic choir.
Rest In Peace, Mrs. Brown(Shropshire)!
Thank you for your impact on my life!!
With much to the family,

My very favorite teacher in grade school. I have so often thought of her and recall calling her several years ago. All my classmates loved her, but not sure as much as I did. She meant a lot to me and taught me so many things. I love you Mrs. Dolores. Rest with the angels.
