I was in Mrs Porcel's spanish class. She was without a doubt one of my most favorite teachers. She was an amazing teacher and wonderful person. Prayers for her family - I know you will miss her very much

Mrs. Porcel was one of those wonderful teachers I'll never forget. She was smart, kind and full of energy--and skilled enough to keep a room full of fourteen year old girls quiet. Alina, my prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for sharing your mom with us.

I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Porcel from her teaching Spanish at Regina to being the mom of my dear high school friend Alina. She will be in the hearts of those that she taught forever. God bless you all as you will be in my prayers.

Mrs Porcel was my advisor at Regina High school. I remember her as a patient and kind teacher who always brought the best out in her students. I've thought of her often during the years and the lessons I learned from her. I'm deeply saddened by her passing and will keep her family, particularly Alina who was my classmate in my prayers.
