"Michael, I was your Mom?s roommate in college for three years. I am so, so sorry to hear she has died. In my mind she will always be that beautiful 20-something walking through campus with me, talking for hours in the dorm room, playing pranks, laughing her mischievous laugh. The memories all came flooding back when our high school group shared her obituary. My heart goes out to you."
