Beth and Mitman Sisters all:
Please accept my deepest and most sincere simpathy in the loss of both your mom and dad. No words can describe the incredible feeling of losing a parent that protected and nurtured throughout your life. They are never really gone as long as there is someone who still holds them in their heart.
May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

Mrs. Mitman was a wonderful and kind woman. She is remembered so fondly. She was my first teacher in 1979 and the one I can remember and admire the most. God's grace and blessings on her family.

I don't think that a student ever forgets the best teachers that they ever had, and I was fortunate enough to have a great teacher for my very first year of school. Mrs. Mitman was my kindergarten teacher and was someone who genuinely made learning fun. She left a lasting impression on me, and I feel very blessed to have been her student. As a person who comes from a family of educators, I can honestly say that teachers like Delores are a rare breed and the influence that they have on their students' lives cannot easily be measured. I will be keeping the Mitman family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Thank you, Mrs. Mitman, for all of the lives that you touched.
