Life has been pretty hard, somedays unbearable. Me, my sister and the rest of our family have pressed are way through, but it has been a challenge. I'm Sabrina's oldest daughter, by the way. Recently, one of my mom's best friends died, her name was Ms. STUTSON. This morning I went to Ms. Stutson Facebook page missing her and looking for some kind of comfort. Then I stumbled on to this post. Today was the first time, I saw this. With tears falling down my face. I want to thank you from the bottom and the top and both sides of my heart for loving my mother. For saying all of the wonderful things about her. To read your messages made me smile and to no that others experience, what we felt everyday since she pushed us out. My mom was a wonderful person who was genuine. She loved hard, she cared about people, she loved helping and teaching, young and old, and she was fun, and funny. She was my everything, and I'm just grateful that I had such a wonderful mother. Thank you so much this means alot to me! Love and Light to you all.

I worked alongside Sabrina many years ago at H.B. Booker School. She was a genuine and beautiful person. She could always make me smile no matter what we were dealing with at school. I’ll truly miss her so much. We leaned on each other quite often through the years. I’m so sorry to her dear family. Prayers for strength and healing. God gained a beautiful Angel ♥️ I’ll miss you my friend 🙏

Mrs. Coleman was a special lady whom I had to the pleasure of knowing for over 15 years. She came to Rickoff went the school came to its new building. She was always will to assist where needed. She was the first smile I saw upon entering the building. She made you feel special, important and needed. I will surely miss her.

As we have all said…. This is so hard. There was so much goodness in you. I loved coming in to see you and bother you because you always honestly responded with an immediate, “ Too busy, I’m closed!” Which always made me laugh and reminded me how much you truly took care of for all of us. I will miss you driving by my house and commenting on all my yard signs and decorations. It always made me feel loved. You left too soon. Keep an eye on all of us, we need you still. Love,
Keli (the great)

It was a pleasure knowing you. I remember our first encounter when I arrived at Rickoff. You referenced my aunt and said “Oh, ok I see you. You’re cute boo but know, I’m the person that gets you what you need. I like Kit Kat and Canada dry Ginger ale. Merry Christmas and welcome to Rickoff” lol. You were right. You’ve always helped me with any task I needed help with, even if your makeshift door was closed. While I waited to get different tasks done you told me funny family stories that lasted my whole break😂. You gave me words of encouragement when you saw there was a struggle and you made me laugh, which is not hard but heartfelt and I appreciate you for that. You invited me to your women empowerment event and honored my mom at this very event, along with other women. Anyone who cares for my mom has a special place in my heart. I will always love you for the love you showed to me and my family, and welcoming me to Rickoff with open arms. I can’t believe you’re no longer with us in the flesh but I know you’re watching over us. You will truly be missed. I love you😘😘😘

I’m still processing your loss so it’s extremely hard for me to gather words to express how much you meant to me. We shared so much, just this week I caught myself running through the office door yelling Ms. Coleman  🤦🏽‍♀️  Thank you for being my person! Thank you for your patience, kindness, and acceptance. I have to make peace with you we’re sooo outta this world heaven couldn’t wait for you!! I love you and you’ll always have a special place in my heart 😘

S- Sweet smile.  You always had a sweet smile on your face even when things were not going smoothly.  You put a smile on my face as I walked in to work every day. A.J. Rickoff School will NOT be the same without that sweet, tender (yet sassy) smile.  I loved it!
A-Amazing writer.  We often shared the love of writing, which we had in common! I loved hearing about your writing and the book you authored.  I enjoyed hearing about your writing and about your future  plans for more books.  You loved hearing about my love of writing and that my dad was an author too and I loved hearing about your love for putting your words on paper for others to enjoy!  Your legacy now lives on through your written words!
B- Believer!  I know you are a believer and I know God is holding you in his loving arms. You shared your faith with me often and lived it to the fullest!
R-Remembering family always!  You and I spoke about family often.  You would ask me about my dad and you would share stories of your wonderful family with me.  I loved that you remembered little details about my dad like his gardening and his books he authored and I loved hearing about all the cool things you did with your family.  Remembering your family in your life was number one, but encouraging others to remember and take care of their family was important to you too!
I-Inspirational- You inspired many at A.J. Rickoff School.  You especially inspired the scholars at A.J. Rickoff School to be the best people they could be!  You also inspired the teachers at A.J. Rickoff to be amazing too!  Thanks for that!
N-Necklaces and earrings!  You would always notice when I had an original necklace or  original hand-crafted earrings on in the morning at work.  You would always say, "Did you make that?" I would share my hobby with you and then come to school with a new pair of earrings made especially for you and you would kindly put them on in appreciation and show off my work.  Boy did those earrings sparkle on you!  You wore them well and appreciated them and made sure to show me every time you wore my gifts.  That meant a lot!
A- Awesome!  You were an awesome person and friend!  I will miss you and will never forget you!  I will keep your memory alive and keep your smile etched in my mind forever!
Thanks for being my dear friend, Sabrina!  You will be missed! I will NOT forget you!
Love,
Mrs. Anita Giusto

I started at A.J. Rickoff last school year. Mrs. Coleman was the first person I met and she had a genuine warmth about her that immediately made me feel welcome. I enjoyed our conversations both in person and over the phone. As we talked, I got to know her as a kind and generous person with a beautiful spirit. I will truly miss her laughter and wisdom! Rest in peace in God's loving arms.
With love and respect,

In my brief time at AJ Rickoff, I have only had a few interactions with Mrs. Coleman. The last one was at the beginning of August. She asked me what I was doing for the last 2 weeks of summer vacation. i told her that I was working at my church's Vacation Bible School. We then started talking about the love we had for our churches, the fun we had in our Vacation bible School days, and our mutual love of music. In that brief interaction, I learned that her soul was just a beautiful as her smile. She will be missed! May God keep her until we can all meet again.

God bless you, my new friend!

Oh me, oh my!! From day one, you were both welcoming and kind.  You took me in as one of your own and affectionately referred to me as one of your "adopted daughters".  We shared prayers, stories and laughter.  We also share a special trip to Florida where my friend and I had the pleasure of taking you to purchase your very first pair of CROCS. You knew me as a lover of Crocs in many styles and colors, yet I had not been able to convince you to join the club until our trip.  The entire experience was one to always remember.
Rest peacefully...
Forever family,
Carlica

Mrs. Coleman, walking through the front office will never be the same! I miss hearing you on Monday mornings asking about my weekend adventures with my boys. You were such a kind hearted person and always inquiring about others. You were the glue to our school, you were the go to for everything. You are missed and will continue to be missed. Until we meet again for our private Sabrina Support Team meeting. May you rest in heaven sweet angel!

How can a person that you really do not know that well make a positive impression on a person. Well, that was my first impression of Ms. Coleman.

Mrs Coleman was always so sweet to me and I knew I needed to always come to the school early to talk to her before my groups. She was so passionate about her women’s ministry and uplifting and encouraging. She would give me the “mama” talk and look with love ❤️ and always had some advice! She sure will be missed! Love ya Mrs Coleman! 🙏🏽

Thank you for your encouraging words and support. Every day when I think of something I want or need, I think of you and how you spoiled me! It’s hard not being able to pick up the phone and call you! You always had the answers! You treated me like your own from the very beginning. I know you're in a better place, smiling down on us and I miss you dearly!

Your work Son...

Your last words to me:
”Nothing but up. I have faith in you as you have faith in God.  Talk with you soon.”
