Ms. Gregory was my English Teacher at Bolton, HS and made a lifetime impression on my life. I was a white student in a predominately black high school and Ms. Gregory reached out like a mother to a son, because she had experienced the same in her life. I was not a good reader and English did not come easy for me, and it was not until I took Greek in college that English finally made sense. Thank-you Ms. Gregory for your leadership, wisdom, and grace in Jesus' Name. 

Vernon F. McCarty, Class ' 78

My condolences to the family.   I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know Mrs. Gregory even after graduating.   We would speak on occasion and my sister Sybil and I visited if I was in town.  She saw her student’s needs and always poured into the potential that we didn’t know even existed.   As an adult, she continued to encourage me and pour into my life.   I learned so much from her.  I am able to speak before an audience in corporate America because she had me involved in oratorical contest.  She always told me she was proud of me.  I let her know she was instrumental in the woman I have become.  Family,  may God continue to comfort you and keep the wonderful memories of her in your heart!

My condolences to the family of dear Mrs. Gregory. She was definitely one of my favorite teachers at Bolton High School (1978-1982). I fondly remember one time when she had our English class to write essays, but I wanted to write poetry instead, and she allowed me to. I also loved when she had the class to write poems in the style of an old English poem, whose name escapes me, except we were to use the names of our classmates. That was so much fun. 

See you in Paradise one day, Mrs. Gregory. May God bless the family, heal your hearts, and bring to mind the memories of your dearly beloved. 
Grace & peace,

Vanessa (Turner) Burke
