Mrs. Smith was both a wonderful English teacher to me in my years at South Collegiate (class of '79), and the mother of a good friend to me, Mark. Tragically, the last time I saw her was as I hugged her at Mark's funeral a few years ago. For those of us who sense a spiritual afterlife, may we be comforted knowing they are now in each other's everlasting embrace, as I wish the same peace for her loved ones yet here.
