Although I didn’t really know Dottie, when she came to Wilmington Manor Elementary School, she always had a smile and kind words. She helped the students with projects and loved being around the children in Michelle’s classroom. What a special person she was!

I knew Ms.Jordan for some years with Michelle as a colleague. She had a servants heart. She regularly volunteered at our school to help the students in her daughter Michelle’s room and she was an intergral part of the Ladies auxiliary helping others. She was a Godly caring person and will be sadly missed.
