Dear Marina, Henry, I am so so so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Marina, I remember you when you were my student in Art & Design here at the University of Illinois. I never met your dear Raphael but nevertheless I know what a bright spirit he was and is and I believe in some way he will still be with you. I wish you every courage for building the bright future he would still want you to have and be.
