Dave: I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of your Mom. Please be assurred that she, you, and your family will be in Rita and my prayers. Sincerely, Dennis _____ From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ [mailto:dsumner@arrl.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 10:51 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: Dave's Mom Some of you know that my mother, Ruth Sumner, has been battling cancer the past few months. She died this afternoon, at her home in Waterbury where my Dad (Ray, NW7R) has been her primary caregiver. We're grateful that she was able to remain at home, which was her principal wish, and that her suffering is over and she's at peace. I was out of the office this afternoon and expect to be out tomorrow and probably part of Thursday. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
