:ear Mrs. Nelson:
1 earned today pf Bill's death. Whether he was fighting for the
diLcg nity of gay people, running for public office, working for
air representation for minorities or arranging for health care
for people with AIDS, Bill had a vision of a just world for all
ECpple. While his life was short, I know it is a comfort to his
fnir ly and friends to realize that he touched many people and
hef t a lasting legacy. May he join Terry in finding the dignity
,znd peace that they fought so long for.
f extend to you Iny sincerest condolences.
ricerely,
ashington
