Doyle family, you have my sincerest condolences. She taught my son in first grade and immediately saw the great potential he had. She told me to keep encouraging him with his drawing and writing. I will never forget the care she showed him. We need more teachers like her. Thanks Mrs. Doyle. You will always have a special place in my heart ❤ You will be missed.
