Don---It is never thrilling to open a window containing the subject, "A Sad Report."
My first reaction was something like being thankful that the news was not specifically about you or your family.
But, still, I know that Carmen's death is unfortunate especially to you and Jan, because he was your most-loyal neighbor for so many years and a soul mate in many ways. It's hard losing close friends and in your case a co-worker in the most vital cause rolling around in your life nowadays. I met Carmen a couple times when we visited you and Q and I enjoyed his congeniality. I know you will miss him and regret his inability to see the Romney bandwagon getting up steam and heading toward its eventual success.
Hope this is your only taste of grief and that the remaining issues you're confronting are being faced and conquered expeditiously.
Grace and peace, Fred & Jan
