Dear Rich and Family,

How incredibly sad. My deepest sympathies. I had the privilege of coaching Lizzie is soccer for than 3 years. On the field, she was as fierce a competitor as I have ever coached. Off the field, she was the best player a coach could hope to have - I still remember her bright eyes and smile as our team walked off the field after a game. She made coaching a joy.
As she grew-up and matured into the remarkable woman she became, I found pride in being there at the beginning.

With great sympathy,
Tom Furlani
