My heart is in South Florida today, I wish I could be there. Mrs. Gould was more than a teacher, she was a living breathing  guardian angle. I confidently say I would not be who I am without her. Sending the Gould family the biggest hug, and I will carry her spirit with me everywhere I go. 

Blue, thank you for believing in me, pushing me outside my comfort zone, and inspiring me.

Dear AJ, Stephanie and Danny,

With our deepest sympathy. Our love, prayers  and thoughts are with you.

The Davis family

Mrs. Gould was so kind and so personable. I talked to her a lot when my son went to college for engineering because all three of her kids graduated with engineering degrees. I asked her for advice and she was helpful. I liked talking with her whenever she had a minute. She was easy to talk to. I will miss her.

My deepest condolences to her family.

Gouldie Bear – 

My heart aches hearing this news. You had such a profound influence on the woman I am today. I sat in your SGA class from 2006-2009 in high school and you encouraged me to pursue leadership roles within our association. I remember you cheering me on for Parliamentarian and I would always ask, “What does she see in me?” 

You brought me along to SFLTC events, which had such a lasting impact on me as an impressionable teenager. You taught me to aim high, believe in myself, and most importantly, to enjoy life and have fun along the way. I will always be grateful to you for looking out for me—and oh my gosh, we laughed so much together. 

Here’s to football, working hard, playing hard, loving family — and your life. 

All My Love, 

Amanda (Nelson) Foster 

Thank you Gouldie.

Thank you for inspiring us, for caring, and for treating us like real people and not the dumbass teenagers we were. 

Because of you, hundreds of kids grew up loving SGA. You took a silly after school club and poured so much into it. You are the reason that countless friendships, memories and bonds were made.

You will never be forgotten.
