"Dear Dr. Timothy Brennan and Renee Siegan: I wish to express my sympathy on the occasion of the passing of your loved one, Ann Marie O'Brien. What a large and lucky family yours has grown to be! There is currently a book out that was written by a Neurosurgeon (Eben Alexander, M.D.) entitled PROOF OF HEAVEN. There are many interesting observances the author makes on the process of dying and what occurs beyond death that is most uplifting. I am sure Mrs. O'Brien had many wonderful experiences with you and vice versa. I wish you both well and that your family is blessed at this time. With Sympathy, Joan Brinich former medical secretary at HFH"
