Mrs. Toole taught at Glover in a classroom next to my mom for many years. My mom was always telling us about their classes and how those 2nd or 3rd graders were behaving!

Sister Toole was a phenomenal woman and an awesome child of God. She wrote personal poetry for my dad (Marvin Wray), sister (Donna Poteete-LeNeo) and did an exceptional reading at my mom’s memorial services (Bobbie Wray). We loved this woman! What a talent, an angel from God, and blessing from God to us; the lives that she touched and blessed with her talents were amazing. Thank you, Sister Toole for the contributions you made. God Bless and keep the family of Sister Toole during this time of bereavement and may you always find comfort in her legacy and that she is with our Father in heaven.

Dr. Mamie Toole, a living legend and iconic beauty, graced our lives with a stunning and godly posture. Her pursuit of education and godliness left an indelible mark on all she encountered, young and old alike. The personal poem she crafted for my mom, mentioning the lone corn stalk in the front yard, remains etched in my heart. When Dr. Toole spoke, the world listened; her voice held a captivating power. Her songs mesmerized us, her poems captivated us, and her smiles enveloped us in immediate love. I could endlessly recount the tales of this incredible woman, but I'll conclude by expressing that she was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed. In my memories she will forever remain a beacon of inspiration and grace.

master!' King James Bible His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Thank you mommy for being the mother to me; and teaching about your God; who is now my God. Take your rest now my beautiful queen. I will see you when I get there❤️
