It seems like just yesterday she brought her students into the Writing Center for a tour. <br /><br />We at the Center sent our own flowers because we wanted her family to know how much we appreciated her constant support. The world will not be as bright a place without her.Sanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548479985480958269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980542529682604099.post-2527061923599222182010-03-01T15:56:45.315-06:002010-03-01T15:56:45.315-06:00I considered her my best friend -- I miss her so much already.
