Richard Carlson, author of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," Made Profound Contributions

Dear Friends,

Richard Carlson, author of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," died on December 13th. I want to take this moment to not only acknowledge his profound contributions, but also to attest to his personal kindness. I have never met anyone who more fully embodied the principles of compassion and generosity. He enthusiastically supported the work of peace, including the work of The Peace Alliance. I considered him a true gentleman and supportive friend, and I feel inspired to be a better person for having known him.

I pray for his wife and children at this very sad time, that the peace of God will flood their hearts. Millions of people all around the world have better lives because Richard lived. May he receive now all the joy he gave....

Marianne
