[Diabetes-talk] Ed Bryant

[Mike Freeman]

Diane:

Work with Joy to come up with flowers to send if that's what Gail wants and 
let me know via private email so I can authorize the expense. If Gail wants 
some other remembrance instead, please let me know that, too.

Mike Freeman, President
Diabetes Action Network
National Federation of the Blind
