I just learned of Dr. Bellingham's passing today and wanted to extend my sympath and repects to his entire family.

Dear Deb,

I only learned of Bruce's passing a half an hour ago and wanted to express my deep sympathies. He was a kind and classy individual and I truly enjoyed knowing him the last few years. My heart goes out to his family and friends and I want them to know that I'm thinking about them and their loss. Bruce lead a beautiful life and touched a lot of people with his music and with his personality. If there is anything I can do please let me know.

Deb,
