Mrs. Koss was a second mother to me during some of this most difficult years of my life. She gently spoke truth into my life. Her witty sense of humor was the best! Her creativity never ceased to amaze. I am blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

I was watching a Bob Ross documentary last week which got me thinking about Mrs. Koss. She was so smart and creative. Her kitchen talks with me in middle school helped to change my perspective on so many things. Her wisdom helped smooth a path between my mother and I at a time when neither of us were willing to walk over rocks. Thank you.
