I don’t know if you’ll ever receive this. It is November 23, 2025. I was thinking about your mother and googled to see if I could see where she was and I see that she has passed. I just would like you to know that your mother made a profound difference in my life when I was just a young teenager. I know I would not be where I am today if it was not for her advocacy, compassion, and love for me. I did have the honor of speaking to her some years after I became an adult and I know she knew how much she meant to me. And I wanted you to know too. I’m sure you miss her very much.
