There are too many names to list. Too many of you gone. I lost track once it was in the 60s. Some of you I met once, some of you I knew for months. Each one of you impacted me- you touched my soul and made me a better clinician and advocate. Each one of you I mourn in silence. I want you to know.. I cared for each one of you and your families. People care, more than you know… more than you expect. Please be at peace, that is all I can hope for now.

No man is an island.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were;

any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Love Always,
