State Del. Eric Bromwell posted: 

"I will never, ever forget Ms. Bundy and the role she played in my life. She made learning fun for me and thousands of other kids who grew up in Perry Hall. I plan to place her picture and some stories about her in the Perry Hall time capsule (to be buried in September 2013). When future generations remember Perry Hall, I want them learn about people like Ms. Bundy. God Bless you Ms. Bundy."

Bruno Baran wrote: 

"Dee and I started teaching together at Perry Hall Elementary. She was my road buddy for a year or so until she got her first car. I'd pick her up every morning from her apartment and we would laugh and talk about what happened the previous day or weekend. Dee had the best stories and made the drive to work a wonderful, humorous and pleasant experience." (Read the rest of Baran's post here.)

Carole E. Schaefer said: 

"I met Dee when I taught at Perry Hall Elementary. I have so many fond memories of Dee, but the best one of all is that no matter how I was feeling or what I was doing, Dee made me constantly laugh and feel good. Even though I feel so sad about her passing, I can look back at Dee and smile. That's what she wanted the world to do. Rest in Peace, my friend."
