We were most saddened to hear of Mina's passing. We feel most priveleged to have known Mina, who exemplified to an unusual degree life's greatest values. We have always admired Mina and were so pleased when we saw you both a the club. We assure you and your family of our heartfelt sympathy and we hope that the following poem gives some comfort. We are planning on attentding the Memorial Service on Friday. What is Dying? A ship sails and I stand watching 'till she fades on the horizon And someone at my side says:"She is gone." "Gone, gone where?" Gone from my sight, that's all. She is just as large out there as when I saw her. The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says "She is gone" There are others who are watching her coming, other voices Take up the glad chant. "There she comes." And that is dying.
