Milinda: I have fond memories of your mom from her days at UCONN Stamford. She was a lovely woman, kind, always pleasant to talk with and always accommodating. I know you will miss her; she was extremely proud of you! She is at peace now and you can take solace in that. May God bless you in the coming days and months.
