Mrs. Battle was my teacher at W.B.at the time they took God out of school and the kids got a lesson in how to make a quit stand for your beliefs . I will always remimber. may she rest in peace
I didn’t know of your loss until today, for I was out of town this week-end. May God’s peace surround you as you travel through lonesome days. Love in Christ
Mrs. Battle was also my second grade teacher at West Buncombe and taught with my mother for many years. I can’t count the number of times that she ‘popped’ me on the leg for talking to my best friend in her class, but I do remember that she was one of my favorite teachers. She touched many lives as a teacher and for that I am grateful to have been one of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of loss.
