Dear Hossein,
I am writing to you this morning with a heavy heart. Our dear friend Ernie Kurtz passed away last night in his home after months of battling pancreative cancer. I will miss him dearly, and wanted you to know how much he admired your work and the work of Congress 60. He just mentioend to me last week how pleased he was to hear from you. We now have the mantle of carrying forward his work--as others will one day carry forward our own work into the future.
I will respond later this week in more detail to your communication below.
Friends and Brothers Forever,
Bill

Dear Bill,
My very dear friend,my heart is heavy as well that our mutual friend Ernie Kurtz(
Dr. Ernie Kurtz)-- has started another journey. I am simultaneously sad and happy.
I am sad because I have sweet memories of him in our communications that we debated on spiritual and philosophical subjects with him and because you loved him so much. I loved him as well and I still love him and I feel sorrow for his absence and I miss him too.
But on the other hand I am happy, because he was a humanitarian and a man of God and he left many papers and also he has started a new season at your website. He left this body of pain and he will continue his living with a new body which is not made of material in another world.
So my dear friend, don’t be sad for one of our elders says: “one who has love within his heart shall never die”
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
Hossein
