I was very saddened to hear the news of your wife Laura’s passing. I met Laura briefly several years ago and still remember her scholarship in language and literacy. Now, reading about all that she did and was passionate about, I can see what an even more remarkable person she was. I am grief-stricken for you and your two boys. My sincere and warm condolences to all of you. May her memory comfort and soothe you during this very difficult time.
