Dear Mrs. Black and Margaret,
I was honored to have known Hugo and to have handled several cases with him. I was introduced to him by my late Father, Ely who was Hugo's longtime friend and colleague. There are so very few lawyers that I have met and worked with who had such a profound influence on me as did Hugo --he was the very finest in terms of his insight, intellect, wit and integrity and I know that all who knew him personally and professionally will so remember and miss him. My condolences to you his entire Family on his passing.

Please accept my condolences. It is never easy to deal with grief but here is a comfort and help for you. First know that God cares and he does not cause the grief as God is never the reason for the pains to us. (JAMES 1:13) Also know that our loving Creator has a plan to erase this pain of death and allow the dead to be restored to life. (JOHN 5:25)
