Steph and Family,
Sending my sincere condolences your way. I remember going to your Mom's class and meeting with the kids as part of the Police/Community School Program. All the kids liked your Mom and she made me feel welcomed. She even told the class we went to high school together. As you already know, Mom's are special.
Please know that I will keep you, your Mom and the family in my thoughts.
