    Jaclyn, Ryan, and Mr. Bereznak, I want to give you my deepest sympathies on your loss. I know that that doesn't always help, but I do want you to know that my mom and I are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. I will tell you that I remember her wonderful smile and laugh even after 20 years later. She was always so kind to me on Girl Scout trips and pool party sleepovers passing on her motherly love to anyone who was in need of it, no matter what. I will truly cherish those memories even more so than I do now.
