Mrs. Moriarty was one of the happiest people I knew! When I was a student @Wright Jr. College, she would let me hang around in her office and chat. She was always there to offer advice, or help to find a solution. I am saddened to read of her passing, as she is someone I will always think of fondly. She will be missed!

Did you ever hear a robin bird sing? That cheerful voice, with just a touch you can't explain.

Did you ever see a robin work? Work for others in progress.

Robins nurture, help grow & love with all their heart.

I had the privilege of working with Couch D. for over 25 yrs. at Wright College. Being clerical in my position I could check her out.

The Laugh, Smile, Twinkle in her eyes will always be remembered. So, when ever you see a Proud Robin - say Hi Dorothy! You won't be missed because you'll always be around.
