Although, I wasn't Mr. Green's student, I saw him almost everyday at Natchez High. We would exchange greetings in passing, or as time allowed, would talk briefly about how things were going. What always struck me about him is that he seemed to care about me as a student even though he wasn't my teacher, and I appreciated that.
To the family, my heart goes out to you in this time of loss. May you find comfort in knowing that your loved one is at rest with God.

I was in the Holy Family choir with Mr. Chatman. He was always a friendly man with a warm smile and a kind word. Even after I moved away from Natchez, he would always ask my parents about me and send well wishes through them. It was truly a pleasure to have known him.
To the family, you have my condolences. May God comfort your sorrows during this difficult time with the peace of knowing that your loved one is resting in His arms.

Congratulations! Your list of achievements is impressive and I'm sure it will continue to grow as you matriculate through college, graduate school, and whatever career you choose to pursue. My only piece of advice is to keep God first in your life and allow Him to direct your path.
For all those offering suggestions and/or criticisms about where Ms. Hayes should attend school or what she should do with her life, while I’m sure your comments are well-intentioned, I urge you to consider lifting her up in prayer instead. As someone who often found myself in the spotlight at NHS several years ago, I sometimes found it hard to manage the pressure of having so many expectations placed on my life. Don’t get me wrong, the support is excellent and definitely needed, but it’s also easy for a young person to feel that the weight of an entire community rests on her shoulders, especially when she hears so much opposing advice. So I suggest that we all encourage and pray for this phenomenal young woman as she steps out into the world and walks in the greatness God has predestined for her life.
I’m now many miles away from Natchez, but it still warms my heart to see positive stories about young people at my alma mater. God bless you Ylani!
