As you may know, one of our own, Cyrus Silva (Russ), has suffered the tragic and unexpected loss of his wife Mary. 

While we express verbally, and in writing, our deepest condolences to Russ and the rest of Mary's family, we can also help to carry the financial burden these types of events can place on the already overloaded loved ones. 

Russ is a man of few words, and would never ask for such a thing.  So I am asking for him.  If you feel led, and are in the position to do so, will you please make a donation?  All monies collected will be given directly to Russ.

I know I speak for him when I gratefully say, Thank you.
