  1. So very sorry to hear of Birdie’s passing, she was a very dear friend to my Dad for several years and I am grateful for that friendship. All of you will be in my prayers in the days ahead.

  2. So sorry to hear she was a very sweet lady n loved by all the children when she was a bus driver she made n impact on our life’s love

  3. Oh my, I just saw where Ms. Birdie passed away. She was a wonderful bus driver when we were in elementary school. Always kind and patient. When it was raining she would tell us to wait on the porch and she would wait until we got down to the bus. She loved all of us kids like we were hers. I will never forget the sweet smile she had and her wonderful caring way. She definitely made a good impact on many children’s lives through those years. I also attended school at Wilson with her children. Jeff and I graduated together. I pray all of her family is well and know that my prayers for comfort are with each of you. Ms. Birdie was the best !!!
