Online Condolences | | Mrs. Torres, I will never forget you as one of my Kindergarten teachers. Although, you were about the same highth as me, I always looked up to you. You and Mrs. Ketchum are the teachers that I remember the most. You were so nice, so kind, helpful and most of all, you loved all of your students. I never would have imagined such a tiny lady with such a huge family! Imagine all those children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all out of one tiny lady. And they all loved you so much. Many students, teachers and family members will miss you dearly. May you rest in peace Mrs. Torres. From two of your students, Gloria Gamboa & Jaime Madrid and family. |
