Dear DeGraffenreid family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I taught with Dorothy years ago and have fond memories. I know that she taught with motherly wisdom, experience, and with loving patience and kindness which she not only showed to her students, but to me as a new teacher learning to navigate the system. The students loved her and looked to her for guidance. Thinking of you. Thinking of her. Cherish the memories. Judy Boyer Rickerd

Our three sons had the privilege of having Mrs. D as a teacher. She truly made a difference in their lives. I worked with her at Glendale Elementary and I can say that being a school nurse for 25 years, she is one of the best. We have a new angel to watch over us and guide us, The Brockmeier Family
