Michelle, I am so very sorry to learn about your mother's passing. She was a wonderful and caring person and always ready to help out with our Girl Scout troop whenever she could. I'll never forget the fantastic time we had when you, your mom, Stephanie and I went to see The Lion King on Broadway in New York City. She was truly a good friend and I will remember her fondly.
