I am so sorry for the lost of your sister. She was teacher at Harrison High School and a great mentor to me. We exchanged Christmas cards every year except the last one or two. I never heard from her and I feared the worse. I loved her as a mother she helped me so much in High School that I even put together a small wedding shower when her and David were getting married. Got to know her husband on our class trip to Washington D>C> There is so much more kind things I can remember about her and I will always cherish the hand written letters I would get at Christmas time. She was always my first card I would get every year I am so sorry I didn't get to see her before this terrible news. I will keep her in my prayers and thoughts always.
