Dear Rose, I am so sorry to hear of Don's death. It was so sudden. We had just spoken at the meeting on Sunday about his emergency admission to the hospital.

He was a valuable visitor and support to many Metro Maryland members who will miss him.

You are in my thoughts and I pray you have the strength and courage to cope with losing him. Know that you have friends at Metro Maryland so please continue to come.
My sincere sympathy,
Sue Rizvi
