To all the family of Dorthy's. I want to share with you my sympathy. I feel for your loved ones passing. It seems like I'm back at Gratiot School in 1969 when I see this wonderful and loving picture of Dorthy. She was down the hall from me and I can remember her smile and warm nature whenever I saw her and talked with her. We sometimes got to talk a little in the teacher's lounge over lunch and the fun times at the Spring Fling that Miss. Collins had each year was another time we shared .together. I want to offer my condolences to all of you and share the life of your Mom and loved one for you all. Peace, Love and Prayers to all of you! Gil Oberdas

Mrs. Hubner taught at a very small school in a very small town, but it is impossible to calculate how many lives were touched in a positive manner. Our condolences. The David Halloran family.

I can remember Dorthy walking by with her classes to Phy-ed and lunch. We would often talk and share our classroom experiences. Like the picture posted she would always have a smile and words to share about teaching and her students. She helped me in my years at the Middle School to be positive and encouraging! Stay safe, Prayers and love to all, Gil Oberdas
