 In Memoriam

We are greatly saddened by the
recent death of this SPECIAL MAN.

In addition to devoting his life
to the preserving and bettering
of lives for those children
facing cardiac problems,
Dr. Werner was a special friend
to all of us here at RIACC.

We pray that his family
and loved ones will
find peace and God's comfort
in the days and weeks ahead.
