George: Sharing with you and with FF followers my reflections with Jackie Hauser on the untimely passing of our friend, Diane.
Hi Jackie:
It has taken 48 hours for me to process the terrible news that George Fritsma delivered to me on Monday. I thought by now that I would know what to say I still dont. Diane was someone special to me. I always felt we enjoyed a wonderful connection and camaraderie. She was always interested and interesting two great qualities that are rarely found together in one individual. I will miss her very much.
On behalf of everyone at Precision BioLogic, let me extend our deepest sympathies on the loss of our mutual colleague and friend.
Sincerely,
Steve
