To the Thompson, Coker, and Barr Families, you have my condolences in the passing of Mrs. Amelia. I remember Mrs. Amelia. She and I worked together at Baptist High School in Hollywood, SC. She was the music teacher. I taught English. She was very professional. She led the choirs to competition at Ridgeland High in Jasper Co. She was a member of the Choraliers. She had a beautiful voice. She was a sweet spirited person. She has done what she was placed on earth to do. Now she can get her reward. Continue to live out her legacy. With sympathy, Mrs. Smalls
