Michael, I am so saddened to hear about the passing of your mom. She was one of my favorite colleagues in several schools in Everett. She was such a valuable asset to the school system and a wonderful, knowledgeable woman who offered guidance and support to every life she touched. I will always remember the heart to heart conversations and the lessons she taught us all. I will treasure the last time we exchanged stories and laughter. Her sense of humor was a gift. My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. I know she is another angel watching over to guide and protect those she loved and cherished most.
