So much loves this Lady! She was a big part of my life and will remember her for ever! Rest in peace sweet lady! Sorry was not there to be with the Brackman family, Kevin if you need anything please let me know!
My thanks to Mrs Brackman for giving her time, effort and patience to St Ann School for many years. She was my basketball coach for 2 years, although my meager abilities kept me on the "guard" half of the court. Just a couple of years ago, I was thrilled to reconnect with her as my patient, and we shared many memories when I visited her home. (Thanks again for the photo of my sister Jennifer's team.) Carol, it was great to talk with you
again, and my pleasure to help your mom. I wish I had been able to attend her service and see my old classmate Cathy again. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

We had some good times together. I will miss you.

Mrs. Blackman was an amazing coach and model for us girls at SAS. She showed us how to be a strong woman by her example.
So sorry for your loss! Coach Brackman was such a big part of my middle school days, and I have so many memories of her! It still makes me laugh to think about her during the basketball games, she would be sitting on the bench (haha, where I usually was, and rightly so!) and she would be so involved in the game that she would slide over and slide us off the bench! I'll never forget the time I fell backwards and cut my head, she and Joan Adcock rushed me to the ER, it was quite a ride. Carol, you will always have a place in my heart. I remember spending the night with you before games and your Mom cooking hamburgers for dinner! So many little memories that make you all dear to me. So sorry I can't be there for the services, but you will be in my heart and my prayers.
With love,
Barbara Forte Himber
