Dear Rohde family,
Mrs. Rohde was also my third grade teacher at Caswell School around 1958-59.I will always remember learning to draw pictures of Birds, as she loved teaching us children in class about them, even going on field trips to see and learn about them. I'am sure she made an impact on all of the students she taught with their lives.

Dear Rohde family:
Your mom, aunt, grandmother, was such a sweet, dear woman. As a teen ager, she was always helpful to me as I had lost my own mother at 16. I was attending the Methodist church at the time and remember her twinking eyes and her warmth and care for children.
Blessings to you all,
Carolyn (Lynn) Hoard Padlo

Dear Ray and family,
Doris was such a dear friend to my mother, Elsie Turner. She always spoke fondly of time spent with her. Also, she enriched the lives of many children she taught. You must be proud of her legacy.

I will never forget my dear Mrs. Rohde. She was my third grade teacher at Caswell School, I guess about 52 years ago. I loved her so and I think she did me. She probably loved all of her students, but I like to think I was her special one. Long after I was grown and moved to Turlock I would occasionally see her in the market. She would say, "Oh, Jennie, I can still see you sitting there working so hard." She was such a sweet person and it saddens me to hear of her passing. But, 103! Wow!
May you gather the little ones around you in Heaven and teach them as you did so many on Earth. They will adore you as I always will.
My sympathy to the family.
