I have fond memories of Ms Thompson when we worked at the Reception Battalion, Sand Hill, Ft Benning, GA. At the time I was the exec asst to the commander and Ms Thompson would often come through raising "heck" about something on behalf of her department (PAB). She truly loved the young Soldiers processing through her department, so needless to say, she mostly got what was needed for them and her staff! Eventually I was promoted out of the battalion but always remembered her fire, her passion. Sending sincerest heartfelt condolences to the Family.
