Dear Charles,
I am so sorry to hear of this terrible news. I remember Ronald from my time with you, and found him just as you described him, so dedicated, focused and thoughtful. I am so sorry for your loss. It was a blessing for Kikaaya to have Ronald for as long as you did - his example will have inspired others and left a legacy of care and determination for others to follow - but of course, he will leave a big hole in your community.
I do hope that at his burial you were able to draw comfort and strength from others that loved him. Thank you for letting me know, and I send you my love at this time, and I'm sure that the whole school community at PGS would join with me to send their condolances and support.
With Best Wishes for 2010,
Fiona
