[humanser] Sorrowful announcement

[David R. Stayer]

I am deeply saddened to hear about Denise. I hope Adam does come to our 
convention. Last year I  lost my wife Lori to Cancer and support of my 
Federation truly helped. Adam I will personally do what I can to help 
you in this time of need. May G-d give you the strength you require.

Each day is a precious gift David R. Stayer, LCSW-R
