I just want to express my
sympathy to you over Ryan's death.
(My own brother died in 1957 at age
24 after a five year battle with Hodgkins)

Ryan was a truly remarkable
youngman (and that speaks mountains
about his family) and what he
did for AIDS was unbelievable especially
in light of the Reagan White House's
"Do Nothing" policy. I've lost over
two dozen friends to AIDS and every
time Ryan was in the News or on
T.V. I wanted to applaud.

He truly left the world a better
place for his having been here
and that is quite an accomplishment
for anyone and especially someone
his age.

Loving thoughts are with you
