Mom,

I will always remember your smile and teaching us good values and graces. You touched many lives and gave to many people so unselfishly. Jennifer

To the family of Dorothe,

Your Wife, Mother and Grandmother spoke to me often of all of you with much love. Dorothe loved and lived her life with enthusiasm and with grace.

Dorothe loved teaching and was very dedicated to her students' welfare.

I missed her when she left Hitch, yet I was fortunate to see her for a play and dinner after her retirement.

She was a good, caring person who always brought comfort to those she touched.

What I remember most about you is your great smile and how much you adored your students, and those great songs you taught your "kids". You made a difference.

God bless you,

Martha
