She was my favorite teacher. I was so lucky to have had her as my fourth and fifth grade teacher. She opened our world to books and reading. I'm an avid reader, lover of poetry, word games and crossword puzzles because of Mrs. BeDillon. She touched many lives.

My sincere condolences to Mrs.BeDillons family. I was one of her students and she was my favorite teacher. She opened the world to me with reading. I'm an avid reader and I love crossword puzzles because of her. I only wish I could have told her how my I appreciated everything she taught me. She touched many lives.

I was so fortunate to have had the gentle and kind Mrs. BeDillon for my 4th grade teacher. She read "The Little House" books to us and let me know that I could check them out of the library to re-read them. Of course, the BeDillons also renovated that fabulous old home that Mike has made into a restaurant and a Casa Grande landmark.
Blessings,
