Dear Kim:



My deepest sympathies are with you at this time.



When you introduced Daryl to our museum staff years ago, you could see the spark and light he brought to you. You smiled in his presence and always seemed to have a content happiness when you were around him.



I know someday you will live in glory again with him.



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.



You have done so much for our museum friends. Now, it is time we are here for you.



Your friend, Dave Penn
