Katherine,
I´m so sorry to hear about your mom.
I was thinking about Jamie and our Pi Phi song, "September," and for some reason I thought about you. When I saw your mom´s picture, I could see the resemblance and that sparkle in her eyes. I´m so sorry she´s gone from this life, but I know she´ll be watching over you.
Sending you all my love,
Timmy Anne
