To Grizzly Flats

The death of two neighbors and friends in a single day is a deep loss and sorrow. Patient privacy forbids me to name them, but we know who we're talking about here.

I've known and doctored both fellows for years, and their deaths are painful to me as the loss of two patients whom I've known, liked and respected for a long time.

For your community, I'm sure this sadness runs very deep. I have always, and will continue to be truly impressed by the genuine sense of mutual support and real neighborliness in your community.

With love and respect,
