It seems like an eternity, but I once responded to one of your posts with how you’re a good steward to the community and a surrogate to your students. From your writings and messages I posted a post, once, of how I envisioned how you reminded me of the warden in the movie Born Free. I think I even said at that time that every time I hear the song Born Free I think of you and your students. I still do. I offer these words of comfort as you privately think back of the snapshots and dialogues you’ve had with your mom from beginning to end. I can sense that you’ve had a lot of good memories of your mom. My condolences and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

Deepest sympathy and respect, kind Sir!. I read every word, twice.

My prayers join yours, Rainbow Cliff, for the progress of your mom’s beautiful soul through all the worlds of God, and for your continued strength through this time of worldly separation.
