Ms. Freeman was funny, amazing, loving, and beautifully blunt. She had a special way of making me feel confident and capable in the classroom. Her presence brought both strength and warmth, and the students truly respected her. She will be deeply missed.

I was very sorry to hear the sad news about Arllyn but know that she is now in peace. I enjoyed working with her at DeDiego School. She was friendly and helpful. I also have fond memories of us volunteering together at some street festivals to help the school and neighborhood. She will definitely be missed at DeDiego. I am thinking of you all during this challenging time. Take care.
