She was my PE teacher at Jordan, 1981. Always gave me a hard time when I didn´t suit up. RIP

Boot was unique. She was a jewel. A GEM like no other. She had a heart as big as all outdoors. How lucky we were to have been a part of her life, and how even luckier we were to have her been a part of ours. Boot had a zest for living that was contageous. The memory of her will be with me until I die.

Hi Donna, My heart is with you. I did not know Boot well, but I know you and how much you will miss her. You gave your all to her care, now take time and give to yourself.
Sure hope to see you back in the Pueblo next winter. Call or write if you want to talk.

Donna: Though we were sad to hear of Boot's passing, we know she is at peace in a better place. Please come back to AJ and spend some time among your friends here. You are missed, as is Boot. Many fun times in the kitchen, at special events and remember WOWY? Jeanne and June, Apache Junction

Donna, I am so sorry for your loss...so many wonderful memories I have of the times that I got to share with the two of you. One of the things I loved about Boot was that adorable grin she would get as she quietly shared the latest very successful "conquest"-whether it was some new kitchen tool or incredible recipe which she would make for one of your parties. She was definitely the best checkerboard cake maker in all of Long Beach. I feel so blessed that Boot was a part of my life.

I am saddened with Olive's passing on. I fitted her with hearing aids in 2004, and have seen her on many ocassions with her most reliable companion Donna. Olive struck me as very intelligent with a tongue in cheek humor. She never stopped doing the things she wanted. I used to tell her, "They don't make 'em like you anymore."

was such a cheerful, fun person. We always enjoyed visiting with you and Olive, and hearing about your latest stories.

Donna,
We are sorry for your loss. I remember all the wonderful times I spent with Boot when she was building her cabin in Sunnyslope at Tom's Place. So many years have gone by, but the memories will not be forgotton. She was a special friend from long ago.

Donna,
I remember with great fondness visiting "BOOT" at Jordan during my time in the PE Office. She was a consumate professional and always had the best classroom management skills I ever saw. In addition, she was a wonderful person and friend. She will long be missed. Our thoughts are with you.

She was a beautiful, strong woman, with a great sense of humor who lived life on her own terms. It was an honor to be her physician.

Miss Boot was one of my favorite teachers at Poly over 45 years ago. I'll always remember her as an excellent educator and friendly person. Many teacher's names were forgotten long ago but NOT Miss Boot's!
