I attended Comstock almost 20 years ago and I saw Mrs. Kothgassner quite often back then as I was late to school alot. She was always very pleasant and friendly to everyone. My heart goes out to Mr Mentch and family for your loss.

Respectfully,

There is a hole left inside me with the passing of Doris. She loved everyone, lived life to the fullest, helped everyone out and set such a wonderful example.
Rest in peace, Doris.
