I would like to tell the family my memory of Mrs. Bretenbach was a good one. She was a sweet and caring teacher. My God bless the family and much strength in your time of sorrow.

I read about Mrs. Breitenbach’s passing and want to let you know that she was one of my very favorite teachers while growing up in Escanaba. I have so many wonderful memories of her class. She really had a love for teaching and was a great influence on many of us. Such a strong woman in a petite package. My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Breitenbach and her family.
