RIP

My stepmother Barbara passed away this week.  She was a wonderful woman and she will be dearly missed.  Please keep my father (it's his birthday today too) and family in your thoughts this week.

I will be attending to family matters and I will not be at school all next week.  Please email me if you need anything and I will try to check it periodically.
