Dear Dona,

I would like to express my sincerest condolences on the passing of your father James Nekich. Although I never knew your father, having a family of my own and being a doctor to hundreds of others is a continual reminder of how precious the time with our loved ones is. Also, I greatly appreciate everything Mr. Nekich did for my country in the Korean War 70 years ago. Not only did your father help bring peace and prosperity to my people, but also fostered a bond between our countries unbroken to this day. Please contact me if there is anything I or any of the other staff at Asan can do to support you. And may the love you shared with your father lift you and your family through this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,
