RIP MY DEAR MRS MERDIS HOLYFIELD GOD'S GOT A CROWN for you....the school reunion will never be the same. May God bless you all n keep yall close Marilyn.

Thanks for your teachings and guidance. I've learned a lot and I can still remember the pinching of the ear or the time out under the desk. Not to say that I was bad or anything like that. I will forever miss you. R.I.P.

Marilyn you have my deepest sympathy. Mrs. Holyfield meant the world to my mom and I. She was my moms favorite teacher. It is amazing to have had a teacher that taught two generations.
