I had the pleasure of working with your mother at Delta. We would chat most mornings in the breakroom. We always talked about our kids. She was so proud of you and loved the fact that she was a Grandmother as well. Please know that many at Delta loved and respected your Mom. May God bless you with comfort and strength and most of all peace during the many days ahead.
