Dear ThuHa,
Your sisters in the Altrusa Club of Washington are thinking of you and your family. Please accept our deepest and dearest sympathies on the death of your father, and know that you and your family are in our prayers.
Your father was truly a distinguished leader, as exemplified by his service to the Republic of Vietnam as a Commanding General and as a Senator. Just as important, your father was the patriarch of a great and wonderful family of which he was very proud. We admire all of his achievements, will remember him for them, and hope that these many memories will be a comfort to you, Etienne and your family.
ThuHa, we have also witnessed your father's commitment to family, leadership and service by knowing you. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for our Club. Again, please accept our prayers and condolences.
