I first learned to cook at DHS, taught by Mrs. Mancuso (Maloney at the time). She was a kind and patient teacher and instilled a love of cooking that my family appreciates to this day.

I had the pleasure of working with Georgette years ago at Diet Center. She was truly one of the kindest, hardest working women I had met. Her smile and positive attitude were infectious! I am grateful for the opportunity to have known her. My sympathy to her family. May she rest peacefully.
