My Precious Gordy Girls, I am so heartsick to hear of your sweet mama's passing. You and your mother were such a meaningful addition to my blissful, heartwarming collection of years I spent at MKCHS. I fell in love with you girlies as students and babysitters and later your mother became the heart, soul and mother-figure to all at school. How lucky were you all to have Sweet Susan as your mother? Remember, you three and your seven are her greatest legacies... she is content and immensely proud. I love you all..... Chanda
