Cindy,
My deepest condolences. I worked with your mom at Schumann in the early 80´s. She was Admin for several "grumpy old men" and she was the hallmark of efficiency. Always optimistic and positive . She loved you so and we had many fun conversations about you, aspiring journalist and proud BG grad. I still use the word "kritzell" when referring to the stuff at Marc´s. I am truly blessed to have known her. May she rest in peace.
