Dear Kenny and Ronni, I am Dr. Eddie Silver's daughter. I was so very sorry to read of your daughter's passing. If my dad were alive, you know that he would want to express his great sorrow for your loss. Your daughter obviously made a big impact on others, which hopefully adds a strong sense of pride to your grief.
