Your mother was a tremendous advocate for students with disabilities. Her dedication and passion made a lasting impact on special education programs throughout the Capital District school districts-especially, though not exclusively, for students with Down Syndrome. Her legacy of compassion and advocacy will not be forgotten. Please accept my deepest sympathies on her passing.
