"Doctor Sorrels was my English Teacher in high school. She had such a huge impact on my life and our community. I was looking up where I could write her a letter to express my gratitude when I saw that she had passed away. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you how much you helped me when I needed it. You helped me get jobs that I really needed and you helped me get into college. I will always remember her for how awesome she was. Thank you Doc, I am always thinking of you. <3"

"So many things to be thankful for. You introduced me to beignets and probably the best nachos I've ever eaten in my whole life. Because of you, I have a love for Led Zeppelin and mountain music alike. Your conversations were captivating. Your laughter infectious. Your love deep and true. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family for a little while. I've never forgotten you, and I never will."

"Dr. Sorrells,

Thank you for pushing me to expect more from myself than I ever thought possible. Many of my memories from High School invole you. You're the reason that I was able to accomplish anything that gets in my way."

"Dr. Sorrells wasn’t just your average teacher. She was a force of nature. You could feel her intellect for miles. Her brilliance was mesmerizing, and even sometimes intimidating... but mostly INSPIRING. Her wit & intensity always pushed us to be better, not just in the classroom, but in our lives. She didn’t expect greatness. She demanded it.

Dr. Sorrells opened my small-town mind to a much bigger world through literature and music, occasionally sharing with us a brief glimpse of her life as a young adult in San Francisco. The first time I visited San Fran, I sent her postcard. I continued to send them over the years, every time I visited there.

She was a groovy chick that just wanted us to be our best. Doc, you reached into the hearts and minds of so many us. I’ve thought of you often since leaving Celeste, and I will think of you forever.

Thank you for being the best teacher of my lifetime. You’re brilliant. You’re compassionate. And I hope those traits carry on through all of us...

Love you.
Cinnamon"
