I am very sorry for the loss of your mother; she was a wonderful teacher and person. She was always my favorite teacher, and was also a special and influential person in my mother's life before she died. Your mother gave mine much needed support when she was teaching the EMR class at Jane Vernon. The friendship given was priceless. Her positive and caring outlook always made a child feel better.I am sure you have many wonderful memories of your Mom. Please know that my sincerest sympathy and best wishes are sent to your entire family.
