Dear Jim,

I am so sorry for your sad loss. It was a privilege to work with Yvonne during the early days of AMORC. She and you were pioneers in the movement to community living for people with disabilities. I admire your efforts to make a difference in the lives of others. I hope to join you and others who share my appreciation for Yvonne's gifts to our community when you have the public service. John Torrone will let me know the date and place. With wishes for peace now and always. Liz Bauer
