Dear Taholo and Sina
I learned that your darling daughter Tae passed away last night. I would like to send you and Sall your family my deepest sympathy and love in your time of sadness and loss. At the same time I would like to acknowledge the respect and wonder your daughter aroused in all of us – Tae was a beautiful young woman and this shone through in her actions, her messages and the reactions of all around her. What an extraordinary young person and what an inspiration of pure spirit and goodness. Many of us would doubt we would be able to face such illness with the kind of courage and strength she maintained. Earth loses her and heaven must gain an angel. Godspeed
With aroha
Kia kaha
Diana
