Mrs Nations is one of the few people I remember from elementary school. I can still hear her voice every time I visit the stacks saying do t forget to make sure you put it back in order. Prayers to the family may God Bless you all during this time of mourning.

Just learned of Mrs Nations passing. Fond memories of her as our librarian when I was in elementary school at CCES. She inspired us all to love books and reading...a passion that has followed me throughout my life! Prayers for the family. May her legacy give you pride and be an honor to her memory.

I had the pleasure of knowing her through my elementary school years in the library. I thank her for all the help she provided me and all the nice comments about my red hair. My prayers go out to you all during this time. May the Lord place his healing hands on yall and bring comfort in knowing she is with him in Heaven.
