"You’ve been a mentor, a second mom and a friend to me and words could not explain how appreciative I am. Even when you weren’t sure how you could help, you still managed to every time I needed it and that in itself shows how much of an incredible and kind person you are."

I've learned that people will forget what you said people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
