Kurt,

Anna and I are very sorry to learn of Martha's death. We send our best wishes to you and your family.

In the few years we have gotten to know you and Martha we saw and learned about the extraordinary love an relationship that the two of you have shared over many years.

Hopefully the support of family and the warm feelings from many friends will be of help as you cope with this loss. We hope to see you at Puu Poa whenever you feel ready to come to Kauai.

With affection,

Gene Eidenberg and Anna Chavez
