I have so many great memories of Dr. Padial. Most of all I remember meeting her paddle many times but even then I knew it was out of love. She was a great woman and I wish I could have seen her again and told her how great she was to all of us.

Dr. Padial was my principal at Lonsdale. She was a strict lady but very loving. Its hard finding great people like her in our innercity school systems now. She will be greatly missed.

Ms. Padial was my 3rd grade Teacher at Lonsdale Elementary. She has been a great influence in my life. I went back to visit with her after she became the Principal!
She believed in her students and I credit her for my success in life!

To the family of Dr. Padial, My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I remember Dr. Padial as a teacher when I was a substitute teacher. I admired her because she was willing to do whatever was necessary to teach inner city students. May her memories bring joy to your hearts knowing she was admired and respected by many. God Bless.

The world lost a wonderful spirit. Anita gave me my first job and allowed me to spread my wings and fly. She encouraged and supported those who worked with her. She will always hold a special place in my heart. With deepest sympathy,

Dr. Padial was a sweet caring lady!! As the parent of former students, I can say she was very well placed in her position. She handled everything to the best of her ability, and done the best to treat all her students equally. She will be greatly missed. May God bless her family!!
