  1. Loved this teacher. She helped to get my husband and I together .Every time I WOULD SHE HER SHE WOULD ALWAYS ASK HOW Ronald Batts was. He just past away June 26th 2017 I thank her for the many years we had together. Will never forget this loving lady Betty Batts

  2. Mrs. Bone was my geometry teacher — I would never have passed that course without her help. She always exhibited a gentle and kind spirit. Praying for the family.

  3. Ms.Bone was my dedicated teacher at West Edgecombe School. As an adult when ever I saw her shopping she would know me by name. My prayers are for her family. I pray the good times will bring a smile to their face with her love in their hearts til they meet in heaven.

  4. I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Rebecca Pridgen Bone. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of Gods kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
