I am very sad to hear the news about Ms. Orendorff. As a student, I had her for 7th grade geography and she was always very helpful and knowledgeable. Her lessons peaked my interest in global affairs of the lessons learned. Rest in peace. -Louis Focht
Marianne and Jason,
Your mom and I started at St. Benedict/St. Francis at the same time. We had a lot in common and formed a friendship. She was one of the sweetest and kindest persons I have ever known. We shared recipes, garden plants and good books. We also shared news and updates about our children. You were both greatly loved by her and will continue to be forever. Death can't stop a mother's love.
With deepest sympathy.
Mary Prus
I am so sorry for your loss, Marianne and Jason. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
