A note from
Kate Bertrand, My dear Tom passed away suddenly June 16, 2008. We were
in Colorado visiting his son for Father's Day weekend. Six days later our
fluff-ball Shadow died. Any donations to Rescate would be appreciated. (Shadow
supported Rescate just as much as Tom and I did, attending the early day's card
parties and margarita parties!) For donations to Rescate, see thier
website www.rescatesc.com. Tom and Kate were very active with the
Rescate Auxiliary, especially the Community Directory of Residents, two editions
of which were produced almost singlehandedly by Kate. His name is being added to
our Tree of Life, painted by Hector Vari on the Rescate building. On the
Rescate website,click on "Membership". Scroll down to the box marked "Make a
Donation." Click it, and the page to use for contributions will
appear. ****************************************************************

FLINT ENGLISH
Flint has been a friend of ours ever sense we moved San Carlos and we will miss him very much. Flint was the kind of person who would do anything for pretty much anyone and at the same time not ask his friends for help even when he needed it. When Flint was diagnosed with cancer is when I really got to know Flint and the man he was. I can honestly say that I have never known anyone to be as strong both on the inside and outside as Flint was. No matter what the treatment was he was faced with or the findings of the doctors he always remained positive and strong. I remember a little over a year ago someone put a posting on Viaviasancarlos talking about Flints condition and how nice it would be if the residents of San Carlos could help him out with maybe some money to pay his slip rent or help with rides to and from his treatments and his response was NO I am doing good and really do not need any help if you feel the need to help please find someone else who really needs the help and help them. That was Flint, I know that a lot of people have been by his side though out Flints battle with cancer but I would like to say thank you to Jan and Denny for not just being there to help him when he needed it but for being the kind of friends you were to him, I know that Jan will miss her dancing partner and Denny will miss his best friend and the rest of us that had the pleasure of knowing him will never forget him don & Pam |
