I was so saddened this morning to read of the loss of your mother. Please accept my deepest sympathy at her death.
I think of the two of you often; I have such wonderful memories of having you in class at NKHS. I'll never forget the homework-eating piranha fish, nor will I forget being called "Mom Kemble".
I hope that each of you has found happiness and success in your life.
