Jennifer and James,
I had the great pleasure and privilege to work with your mother at RIT.
There is so much to say about how great she made that experience, her spirt, her humor, her warmth, and her consideration for all her co-workers was incredible. I still smile when I think of her lively "Macerena" at our office events. She will be so missed. Please accept my sincere condolences.
