It's time to sleep late, travel and enjoy the fragrance of retirement. Therefore, embrace every moment and may God continue to bless you as you turn the next chapter in your life.

So, conquer this next journey with a SMILE ... because it is definitely worth it my sister! 💕💚

NOW ENJOY WHAT YOUR LABOR OF LOVE HAS BROUGHT FORTH FOR YOU.... Fun, Travel, No Clock to watch or follow, moving at your pace & on your time. Life has come to a place where Everything's An Option.

Welcome to the 2nd half of Life. Enjoy it. Do what 'cha want, when ya want, how ya want, for as long as you want. And as a retiree tip, you favorite words are now... No and Maybe. 😄 Much love to you cousin-o-mine. Congratulation again on your career retirement. Enjoy this new phase in your life.

Be Well. Love cousin Kelvin.

You were by far the best 2nd grade teacher at Keeven EVER!!! If only I could turn back the hand of time just to sit in your class for one day. I pray for relaxation and enjoyment moving forward. 🙏🏾

In your class we learned how to tell time, measure and use a ruler, foster a love a reading, and so much more! Later, I would attend my first Debutante Ball with you and in those few hours, I learned skills and table etiquette that I still practice today. That is definitely a core memory for me of us together.

I have known you for just about my entire lifetime - God truly brought us together and what a journey it has been! Thank You for your love and support over the years towards me and my family and Congratulations on your retirement! You have impacted and inspired so many. Job Well Done!

May God continue to bless and keep you and enjoy the next chapter of your life!

Love,

You are TRULY an educator! You have spent countless hours thinking of ideas and creative things to do in your classroom. It didn’t surprise me that your business, Teachable Resourceful Learners, focused on resources for educators. You are always willing to offer advice, or facilitate a workshop. Thank you for your support during my first year of teaching. I’ll never forget the day that you encouraged me to make “the call” to determine my options until retirement. That was one of the BEST days of my life! Not only did I have options, I found out that I could retire! 🥂🍾🎉

Congratulations on your retirement! Welcome to the world of doing what you want, when you want.

Best wishes,

Angela Waters

Congratulations on your retirement! It's well deserved. You had to put up with a bunch of smart mouth kids. I remember when you called my mom to the school 🤦🏾‍♂️. You never had another issue out of me after that, lol. You made being a young black teacher look cool and inspired a generations of young kids to become educators. You will be missed in the classroom, but your impact will live through your students.

Love LaNesha ❤️

While much of the same can be said about Renita as I said about her mom. Renita had her own style but achieved the same result that students, parents, co workers, and friends have that same love and respect that was shown Mrs. Perry.

I love this young lady and she is a joy to me.

I am so proud of the woman you have become. Keep reaching for the sky, never not have a goal, remain sweet and loving and continue to let God direct your path.
