“We were talking to our friend Megan and she would just come up in the middle of the hallway and do this little dance and just say ‘lamma’ and walk away. She was just a great person.”

“I was walking to lunch. I saw Laura. She seemed down about something. I walked up behind and bumped her in the hip. She was like ‘what was that for?’ I said, ‘you need to smile, sunshine.’ Later that day, I saw her and I nudged her and said ‘smile, sunshine.’ She just chuckles and looks away.”
