Hello All,
I am a member of the group with Dr. Benedict at the Earth Data Analysis
Center, and I want to say "THANK YOU" to those of you who choose to donate
to JDRF. My daughter, Arianna, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just
before her third birthday. She has been living with the complications of
diabetes for over ten years. She is thirteen years old now, does
extremely well academically and is active in year-round completive sports.
Having said that, without the support of JDRF locally and the
breakthroughs in research and medical equipment on a national level, I am
certain her outcome would be much different. I am sharing our family's
experience with the group, not to detract from the important message
regard the celebration of Rob's life, but to know that even in his death a
young life will be touched.
Warm regards,
Shirley

Sorry. All these nitty details that sometimes just don't come out right!
If you donate to the JDRF link below you can (must?) enter Lisa's address
and they will send her an acknowledgment letter. Looks like it is not
optional.
Lisa Steele
2308 Windjammer Ct NW
Olympia, WA 98502
You can also send her cards to this address.
All the best

Hi Friends of Rob,
The details of the memorial have come together (finally). Its taken a
while to organize everything because Lisa, Robs sister, is not local and
lives in Washington state.
We will hold a celebration of life in honor of Rob:
March 24 at 10 am
The Unity Church of the Valley
2817 Montrose Ave, La Crescenta, CA 91214.
....We will try to set up a live video stream for the memorial. More
details late next week.
We will have a slide show of Robs life at the memorial. If you have some
pictures to contribute I have created a google account:
robert.g.raskin at gmail.com (upload to photo section). Call or text for the
password. Or post to his FB wall.
Lisa has asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in his name. You can use this link
https://secure3.convio.net/jdrf3/site/Donation2?df_id=2374
<https://secure3.convio.net/jdrf3/site/Donation2?df_id=2374&2374.donation=
form1> &2374.donation=form1
At some point Lisa intends to set up Scholarship Foundation in Robs names
where folks can also donate. Stay tuned for that.
Thank you all for your support and prayers thru this difficult time. See
you March 24.
