Dear Soror Olivia,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother passing away from this Earthly world. Know that the Heavenly world just got another Angel. You may not remember me but you were one of my Grad Advisors when I was on line in the Fall of '78 at NSU. You were always a kind and caring person and I will never forget that. Hold on to God's unchanging hand and you will stand tall through this time of sadness.
