  10. Dear Kim, Kathleen, and family, Glenn and I are so saddened to hear of the tragic loss that you and your family have experience. The last memory I have of Maury is from Hilary’s wedding, when Maury and Hilary were dancing. They both had such smiles on their faces. He is now dancing with our Savior!
