Oscar ELLIOT

AnCan Foundation is desperately saddened to learn this news, albeit 12 months late. We wish Deb, Molly and all the Burhans/Thomas family much comfort. The plight of 'Previvors' has long been on our radar since supporting Professor Bill GRHS. AnCan is working closely with the UCSF Center for BRCA Research and also with FORCE to improve mental health and medical support for Previvors. May Oscar's memory always be a blessing.

Sara Oscar was my student for two years at City Honors and often have I thought about this reserved yet abundantly gifted writer and thinker. As I read the memorial tribute I was reminded of the day late in her Sophomore year when she asked if I would write a recommendation for her. Typically this would have been for a summer internship or job requirement. I was moved when they told me it was for a transfer to Park School. Without hesitation, I said "yes" but I felt a real loss for our school...

What an unusual life they lived. Rest in Peace beautiful person.
