<div>Dear, dear Geoffrey, Stuart and Elena
<div>I can still hear Roxana's laughter</div>
<div>I have deep respect and love for both your parents. </div>
<div>For the last couple of days I have been remembering how Roxana facilitated the conversations that allowed international interns to get a stipend a long time ago. She was in the finance office. This happened in 1972. Strange that it should show up in my mind around the time of her passing</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Also, they were standing in for Cyprian's parents at our wedding. They lead the conversation the evening before we were married at the rehearsal dinner when we presented our family document. </div>
<div><br clear="none">May you be well as you receive and appropriate the fullness of this transition. </div>
<div>I know Gordon prepared you for this. </div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Thank you for everything you did to care for Roxana</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>I hope we get to see you sometime soon in this part of the world. </div>
<div>Love,</div>
