My dearest Karen,
We just found out that Maurice passed away this past weekend.
He was one of the special friends in Nancy's Dietert experience that lifted her spirits. She so enjoyed his company.
I trust that the wings of many angels carried his spirit back into the folds of Divinity and that you too are comforted knowing he dwells in absolute peace.
We are so grateful we were able to spend time with him at his last birthday party.
Much love and support to you and your family.
Rebecca & Nancy
