Our sincere condolences from those of us who attended not only Byrd but all of the schools Mrs. Slate was at. She was very passionate about her job and an inspiration to all. Peace to your family.

I worked with Mary briefly and recently, she really left her mark on me. Considering her size, Mary is definitely the strongest person I have worked with in therapy. She showed me her inventions I've only dreamed of fleetingly, shared wisdom with irreplicable cleverness and care. Won't forget nor repeat her cornbread (sorry/thanks Mary). All the best to her family she protected so proudly.
