You were a quantum singularity in my life, dear woman ... You encouraged me to call you 'Mom', and made yourself at home in my heart as a result. I miss your voice, I miss your jocularity, I miss your always-loving support musically-speaking, and I just miss you greatly every time I visit the Center and don't see or hear you there ... I wish that you truly knew how deeply I cherished our 'connection', and how grateful I always was that you shared your amazing family with me over the decades ... I was so blessed to know you literally all of my life, and thank God for the 'gift' of you!
