Debbie, George and family and Mrs Leach,
Sorry that I cannot join you in NH for your Dad and husband's service. Debbie has shared how wonderful her DAD was as a person. I can see he made a major contribution by creating a great daughter that I have the pleasure to work with at Joslin Diabetes Center.
My thoughts are with you - and let us celebrate your Dad's great spirit and life. It is not a life lost but a life lived. Kathy Rice
