Dear Margaret, Sandra, and family,
I was sad to hear about your mother's passing. She was always so very kind and welcoming to me. She was my favorite mom-away-from-mom during our school years.

Please know that I wish you all the best and am thinking of you with love,

Brenda Miller, San and Emily
