Dr. Briz, Mary and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Our daughter is now 50 years old, and she was a patient of your Dad's when she was only 8 years old. We have never forgotten the personal care that he gave her.

My sincere condolences go to Dr. Brizzolara's family. He served his medical community in an
highly professional manner over the decades. He was very generous to me in helping me start my private ENT practice in 1969. May God grant you peace and understanding in this time of duress. J. Floyd Kyser, M.D.
