Dear Jennifer and Mark,
My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your sweet mother. What a terrific example she was for all of us. Her gentle spirit made it easy to respect and love her as a neighbor and friend. I will always remember her as one of my favorite teachers in a very admirable group of educators!
She was indeed a blessing to my life!
