I would like to congratulate Mrs. Emma Jones for completing the sales of her Monroe Ave. and Crescent Dr. properties. Mrs. Jones is now starting her new life in Atlanta with her daughter Natalie, son-in-law Talib, granddaughter Mary, grandson Isaac, and great-grandchildren Jenasis, Isaac, and Elijah. Mrs. Jones has been an upstanding citizen in Monroe, LA, for many years. Mrs. Jones became an on-site Supervisor at J.S. Clark Elementary in the late 1970s. In 1981, she became the first African American female Principal of a Monroe city school when she took the helm at what used to be known as Parkview Elementary School. With the support of other local leaders, she led the charge for the name of the school to be changed to Martin Luther King Elementary School (now MLK Middle School). Mrs. Jones served as Principal at Parkview/Martin Luther King for 18 years.

Congratulations, Mrs. Jones, for completing the sales of your properties. Thank you for trusting me to represent you as your realtor. I also want to thank her and her family for including me in their family. It has been an honor to be a part of this family for over thirty-three years. I pray that her new beginnings in Atlanta, Georgia, will be the most beautiful and blessed experience that she could ever imagine. I know that God is smiling on her life. We love you, Mrs. Jones, and live your life as you always have, to the fullest. If you're interested in purchasing or selling your home, please contact me, Tanji Elzie, at 318-237-0550.
