I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Ms. Dortch. I had her for a spanish teacher for two years in Llano and she was always one of my favorite teachers. She expected a lot from us but she also made it fun. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed. LHS 1996##imported-begin##Katie Rash Moreau##imported-end##
I had only known Elaine for this past year. She was a delightful lady and a wonderful doggie mom. I took care of her puppies some while she was out of town. She lived across the street in Canton from my cousin. I was shocked to hear of her passing and I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers as you go through this healing time. My best wishes to you all.##imported-begin##Diane Poole##imported-end##
I lived across the street from Elaine on River Oaks Dr. in Canton until we moved to Forney. We talked when she was in her yard or walking her dogs and I really enjoyed our conversations. My grand-daughter loved visiting with Elaine's little dogs and she was always so friendly. I am so sorry for your loss and your family is in my thoughts.##imported-begin##Pamela Herrin##imported-end##

She was a wonderful lady and will be truly missed.##imported-begin##Candace Craig##imported-end##
Micah,
What a friend! We had too few years to work together,but she kept things interesting. We had fun and I could count on her. Whether it was a phone call, talking through the cubicle walls or at conferences, she was there. She was a friend and I miss her.##imported-begin##Ginger Clayborn##imported-end##
MICAH:
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU & YOUR FAMILY IN YOUR LOSS. YOUR MOTHER WAS THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL PERSON IN MY LIFE & HAD THE MOST POSITIVE IMPACT OF ANY INDIVIDUAL IN MY ADOLESCENT YEARS. SHE MAPPED MY PATH TO SUCESS IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE BY ENCOURAGING ME TO BE BETTER THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. I SPENT 4 WONDERFUL YEARS IN HER ENGLISH & SPANISH CLASSES AT NDHS & WAS BLESSED TO ALWAYS HAVE HER GUIDANCE.
SHE WILL BE MISSED & I WILL CHERISH HER MEMORY.
