With sincere prayers and love for you I send my deepest sympathy for your wife, Calvin and your Mother, Miranda and to the staff at her office, as she was truly a dedicated doctor and a gem of a lady. She was absolutely wonderful and such a committed soul to healing. I shall keep you in my prayers and her memory in my heart as she was truly an instrument used by God. Miranda because of her I saw you perform many times and she was so proud of you. God bless you all.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I will always cherish our personal and professional relationship. We traveled to many meetings together in state and across the nation. She was such and inspiration to so many and encourged me in our work with the American Diabetes Association African American Program. Much love especially to Calvin, Mirada and Lolita.
