I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Woo was such a lovely, gentle, kind person, a supportive and loving mother to my dear friend and classmate, Nancy. I remember her from school events, my play dates with Nancy, and Nancy's birthday parties. May your fond and cherished memories ease your pain at this time.
