I am so sad about your mother's passing. We worked at Franklin School and later became good friends. Over the years we shared good times going to lunch, shopping and visiting the casino. Your parents joined us one year for Thanksgiving dinner. We laughed, shared family recipes and just had a good time. I will cherish my memories.

My sincere sympathy to Jim and family. We were classmates at Roosevelt and Davis High School. I am sorry for your loss. I was not privileged to work for your mother but knew of her as a highly admired and respected member of the educational community. May you find comfort in knowing she leaves an amazing legacy.

So sorry for your families loss!! So true, all that knew her loved her!!
