I´m a survivor, over 50 years ago your dad performed my first brain surgery. I´ve had 8 total, but I thank your dad for his expert knowledge and abilities that saved my life. He left an incredible mark in the Seattle area. Thank you Dr. Cohn.

Dear Ginevra, I never met you. But you were at Stanford when I met your Dad. I had broken my neck and it´s because of him that I can now turn my head from side to side.

May memories and prayers comfort and console you as your beloved Rest In Peace.
