I remember meeting you my first day working at the lodge of ashworth, you gave me a big bag of chocolate to take home to my kids(they loved it) My daughter had just started school so she couldnt say you name so she called you Mrs B'gogo(you adored how she would say it). You are truly someone special and you will be missed. It will be very hard to pick up a piece of chocolate and not think of you!!

Sue,
I'm sorry that I won't be able to get away from the office on Wednesday to join you and give you an in-person hug.
Your mom was a gracious lady and I'm glad that I was able to meet her.
