Tj and Family,Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mom and loved one. I have such fond memories of your Mom from we (Tj and I) were in high school. Your mom was the first person to ever really encourage me to read books by blacks, about blacks. I think it was Native Son by Richard Wright that she first gave me to read. That really sparked my interest in reading great stories and classics… something I do to this day. You never know how one kind gesture or interest in a young person impacts their life forever. So I celebrate Ms. Mary and I send you my prayers and blessings.Love Sonji
