Dear Joseph and All Family,
We send heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the family of Dr. Evelyn M. Witkin. She has a long history of helping people, and her research and discovery is still helping people. We will remember Dr. Witkin as a remarkable person with a kind heart and humble spirit who also loved poetry. She received man top honors and medals in medical research. Thank you, Dr. Witkin, you paved the way for advances in cancer treatment and genetics by conducting groundbreaking studies on DNA damage, repair, and its structure. We are still benefiting from your research. We might never know the full impact her generosity and kindness still has on others, how far-reaching her legacy will extend, or the many ways she influenced the lives of others. Yet, God knows, and He will not forget the good he has done. "For God is not unjust, to forget your work and the love you have displayed in the services you have rendered." (Hebrews 6:10)
May your treasured good memories provide comfort for you always. May prayers strengthen you and God´s loyal love always comfort and sustain you. Please continue to treasure your good memories and may they soothe your saddened hearts. May prayers strengthen you and cherished memories comfort you, and may God soothe your hearts and comfort you always.
Mr. Jr.
