Was thinking of you since I had moved away from Memphis and the hospital. So sad you were gone. I miss you.

Dear Georgeanne,
Thank you for this connection. As you know, Mary and I did not learn of Telmo's passing until long after. He was a good friend and a dedicated surgeon and we have prayed for him and for you and your family ever since we learned of his death.
