@Pete_Wu @ryanaluther @c_kawala @keith_gunaratne @kobyjane @dmeschino The lives you’ve changed - both as MD and SD - is unparalleled. Working with you was one of the joys of being CMR! I’m excited to see all you do next :)

Officially done as TGH Site Director. Special shout out to all the residents over the past 6 yrs. And especially to the CMRs! Working with you all was the best part of this job. Thank you for everything! @ryanaluther @c_kawala @keith_gunaratne @kobyjane @maximebillick @dmeschino

@RicharLisa I walked into TGH this morning and thought of you. It was before seeing this tweet, before knowing of your loss. I just had a sense of your presence, and that it had been a while since I’d seen you. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you, Lisa, and sending you love.

My beautiful sis, Sara Richardson Roque, died today at sunrise. Her generosity, creativity, fierceness, brilliance and laughter inspired so many in the arts and beyond…May her vision live on and may her journey be peaceful. Grateful for the compassionate care provided by colleagues, the support and love of friends, the healing and guidance of Elders.
