I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. She was my role model as I was growing up. I was best friends with her daughter, Sara , and so I was privileged to not only watch her raise her 3 children, but also to feel nurtured by her as well. She was just that kind of woman who could set aside her own problems and not only nurture other children, but she could fight their battles for them when need be. When her youngest had reading issues that the public schools were not yet to remediate , Mrs. Kramer found a wonderful and fun not to mention effective program that I witnessed as bringing her son up moo speed.

Yes, she was 101 years old, an amazingly long life, but women like Mrs. Kramer are what the world needs need more of and 101m years do not nearly seem long enough…
