Balie, I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I remember your mom all these years later. She was always so sweet and humble, and she always spoke to me like I was a young little lady. I respected her very much. My mom also sends her condolences and is very sad to hear of her passing. If I'm able, I will come on Wednesday to pay my respects and to see you. I know we haven't really spoken since we were kids but you were always kind to me and, in the environment we both endured at that school, that was a pretty big deal. Our prayers for you and your family during this very difficult time. xoxo Kristina (Verlingo)
