There is no question how deeply we share in our grief at the passing of this very dear friend and colleague. Depression is an illness, a very serious illness for some. It is only in this context that we can hope to understand why a person such as Stevenson with so much talent, so much warmth, and so much to offer to his loved ones, his friends, and to everyone else in this world would take such a drastic and terrible step. In the aftermath of this cruel tragedy I believe it's important to let all those we know in our community who have suffered how much we value them and care about them.
