Chris, I'm so sorry about your mother. I first met your mother in college. We were connected through church and work. As teachers we hope we make a difference in someone's life. Your mother had an impact on the hundreds of students who passed through her classroom. That is a legacy.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
