“Michael and Timmy. Donna and I are sadden by the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person and a great colleague. During my first couple of years at Carver, I relied on her for wisdom, understanding and knowledge. She was an excellent source to go to when I (and the kids) needed counseling. During her many years of teaching she made a direct impact on many, many students. She was always very proud of the two of you. Donna and I had an opportunity to see her just a couple of weeks ago at the Nursing Center, where she brought us up to date on what you were doing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.”

“To the family, I had Ms. D’Orazio as a teacher at Spring Ridge Middle School. She kept us in line but in a nice way. She was one of the best teachers I ever had. Keep the memories close and cherish all the good times you had with her. Keep in mind that God only takes the best. May God give you the strength to get through this rough time. May she rest in peace.”
“Mrs. D’Orazio was also my teacher at Spring Ridge middle school actually I think she also taught my brother and sister as well! She loved to play bingo and she often went with my grandma to play! She was a very nice teacher who only looked out for the student’s best interests. I know with her help as my teacher I have grown up to be a very independent woman who is now a college student and doing something positive in my life. She most definitely will be missed. ~ Jenn Duncan – Walla, Walla Wa.”
