I'm so sorry! I'm not currently a volunteer, but I had corresponded
with her a couple of times regarding a book I had requested. I had
also talked about volunteering in the future, and she was so kind and
caring and had offered to help in any way she could. She will truly be
missed! Please give her my best wishes.
