I recently read Second Suns and loved every minute of it, I was really touched by this book and it rarely failed to bring tears to my eyes, usually happy tears. (I had read Three Cups of Tea and loved that book too.)

When I read at the end that the author had died I was very surprised but when I read the circumstances I was really shocked and saddened.

The world lost a lovely man and a great author, so sorry for your loss to all his family and anyone who knew him personally including the wonderful doctors and all in Second Suns.

I was very moved when I read Three Cups of Tea, but the degree of my enjoyment was infinitely greater when I saw that the author was my once-upon-a-time classmate at the Harley School, David Relin. We have been out of touch since junior high school, but the memories of those days are brilliant; tinged with sadness now that I have learned of his untimely death. If we had been able to meet again, we'd have had so much to share as our lives have run along. My deepest condolences to your family, David. Namaste!

As I finish 'Second Suns', I am touched, awestruck and saddened at the same time. Now I am even more saddened since I discovered the fate of its author. So sorry for your loss and ours too.
