To the Taylor family, so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the "God of comfort" be with you at this time. - 2 Cor. 1:3, 4. You have my deepest sympathy. ~ D.W. Lowery

To the Family, l worked with Dorothy at Bellevue Elementary School. I remember her as a very structured teacher that truly cared for the students she taught both academically and personally. She was always prepared to meet the students where they were academically. She knew where she wanted her students to be academically when they left her at the end of the school year. If you were to ask any of her students today what they remembered about Mrs. Taylor I am positive they would say that she was "tough" and they loved her for it. It is with my deepest sadness that l off my condolences and prayers for your strength.
