To the de Rojas family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all in the loss of your mother. Although I did not know her, your father and Maria were teachers of mine many years ago at River North Academy and at Wesleyan College. I thought a lot of both and wanted to send words of sympathy to you in the loss of your mother.
