CONDOLENCES
"I was so sad to hear of Mrs. Dillon's passing. She was one of the brightest spots in one of the darkest periods of my life. She had an incredibly positive influence on me in those days. She was a phenomenal woman. Heaven has gained royalty. "
"Grew up hanging out at the Dillon house. Mrs. Dillon was always so nice to us "guys", with the occasional well-deserved scolding. She will always be a positive part of my childhood memory. It was also great to see all the Dillons and Mary Kay. It has been years since I have seen many of you."
"Im so sorry to hear of Mrs.Dillon's passing. I knew her for along time
and well,I just cant find the words.To Mike,Patty,Peggy,Richard and Dan(Danny!),sorry to hear about your Mom.She was a great Lady. Regards, Earl "
"I had a special connection to Mrs. Dillon through my Father and her Brother Richard. My Dad was the QB at York when Richard died from a ruptured spleen he suffered in a football game. Mrs. Dillon was a great teacher and I am blessed to have had her in my life. "
"She was tough. I don't remember her ever cracking me like Mr. Sible (who, no kidding, I will always love for schooling me) but she was a take-no-bull Catholic-style school-teacher-but with a smile. She was FUNNY! She'd correct what needed correcting, but would let up and love on you afterwards. She knew what she was doing, and she benefited many a rascal. She done good."
"She always accepted us and embraced our spirit with unconditional love, which enlightened all hope for our spiritual growth and journey, alongside hers. In turn, sharing life with Dan and the Dillon family will always be a part of my life, through my heart. I am sending her goodness back your way while you incorporate her love in a completely new dimension.
Here is to cherishing treasures in our lives! Love, Clare
"
"I remember her in 8th grade scaring me about going to York. She may have been wrong about going to that scary public school, but she was a nice lady and a good teacher. "
"Mrs. Dillon was our religion teacher at IC Grade School and a wonderful friend to our Mom, Jeanne Jones who was the gym teacher at IC. We loved Mrs. Dillon and are sad to hear of her passing. We lost our Mom, Jeanne Jones in September at the age of 93. Thank you to Ms. Sullivan, who was also our teacher for taking care of Mrs. Dillon."
"Sorry to hear the sad news. I was fortunate to have worked with Sis at IC for 12years. She was a great lady who personified a great teacher.
I have so many wonderful memories of Sis. She was a friend & will be missed & remembered.
