Mrs. Qaissaunee was my supervisor at the William C. Jason Library, Delaware State University from 2000 - 2004, and she introduced me to my first professional librarian position. She had a strong commitment to her family, as well as, loyalty to the educational goals of DSU. My deepest condolences to her family and she will be remembered fondly by the DSU librarians that worked with her.
Jamila, Mike & E-Shawn, condolences on the loss of your mother. I will always remember her as a kind person who was always there with pistachios and a ride home from little league or a school dance. Know that she is in a better place now with your father. Godspeed.

Barbara I know you are in heaven looking down on us with a big smile on your face as you are with your heavenly family at long last. You know we will miss you here on earth but we know you will be there to greet us when we get to haven. It was a pleasure to work with you for over 28 years at the Jason Library. And it was fun meeting you for lunch at the Countrie Eatery once a month after you retired. We also helped each other while we both went trough cancer back in 2011. I know you will be missed at the Dover Public Library, You were a great great friend for the Library.
