True Friend and Mentor
G. Ellis was a former director of mine. She was a true inspiration to me from the first day I interviewed with her. She has helped me strengthen my faith at church and strengthen my self confidence in my singing for the church. If it had not been for her I would not have ever had the courage to sing my first solo. She is also inspired me to work towards my masters degree in HR. This may not seem like a lot, however she is helping me do all of this while I face a dibilitating health condition.

My Best Friend
Becky has been a true friend. She has been there for me no matter what problem i was dealing with at the time. She always has such great advice. Any time I need someone to talk to she is always there for me. She also has helped me when I have had money problems. I have never had a sister, but I sure do love her as a sister.

ALWAYS THERE WHEN NEEDED
Ms. Doris is not only a co-worker but a true friend. One afternoon I was having car trouble after work and she had left for the evening she turned around and came back to give me a lift she didn't have too but it's what she does, she's always helping others. Not only that you can talk to her about anything. She's just a very kind woman and she always treats everybody the same.

A FRIEND INDEED
My name is Jessica and i just want to give thanks to one of my co-workers. I am recently divorced and the divorce was pretty bad .When i needed someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry own she was there. I thought my world had come to an end but she showed me that this was only the beginning and without her I don't think I would have made it .She's not only a second mom but a true friend. So thank you very much Mrs. Pruitt.

My Five Daughters
Children are wonderful and mine are no exception. I have 5 daughters ranging in age from 5 to 16. They are always there for me! When I am sad they have a smile or hug. When I am angry that have a joke or do something funny to lighten my mood. When I am happy they share in my joy! I know that the time is getting close to when they will be leaving home and leading their own lives but I enjoy every single day I have with them. Don't get me wrong, there are days that they are the reason I

Who is there for you, my husband.
My husband, Butch, is always there for me and everyone who he ever has contact with. He will go out of his way to help everyone. He is my rock and soul mate, my best friend. He was outside working in the yard one day. He heard the neighbor scream and immediately ran over and assessed the situation and took action. Our neighbor, Ed, was working on the roof and had slipped and rolled off the roof holding on for dear life. Butch was quick enough to grab the ladder and lodged it against the

Who Could Ask for More?
Over the 2 1/2 years my boyfriend, Cory, has taken on a huge responsibility becoming a father to our daughter and a father figure to my three sons. He has become a role model, caretaker, chauffeur, chef, baseball team mate, etc. He does it all and is always willing to help out. I was a single mother for a long time and it has been a huge relief to me to have someone take on the father role. I have been inspired by him to be a better parent, sister, friend and daughter. My children and I

Mom's Are The Best
The one person I would say is there for me would be my mom. She's been there for me since day one. She watches my four children for me while I am at work and helps me out financially if I need it. She is there for me through thick and thin. When I need someone to talk to or whatever the case may be my mom is always there for me.
