Carol, Luann and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. DeWald was a wonderful person and one of the best teachers I have ever had. He had a remarkable way of explaining Math in a way that you could understand the most complex concepts. He had a great influence on my life and so many others that he probably didn't even realize. He was a great teacher and a remarkable person. He will be missed!
You are in my thoughts and prayers, I recently lost my mother and have compassion for what you are going through.
With sympathy,
