Dear All -  
 
It is with tremendous sadness that I inform you... Alejandra Stuparich, EB
clinic nurse and coordinator at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,
Ontario, passed away Sunday night after a fierce battle with cancer.  Many of
you met her over the years.
 
The funeral will take place at 11 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 24th, at Marshall
Funeral Home in Richmond Hill, Ontario.  Arrangements were made to accommodate
her sisters' return to Chile Tuesday night. 
 
Alejandra was an intrinsic member of the EB clinic at SickKids, which is led by
Dr. Elena Pope - I know she will be greatly missed by both her colleagues and
patients.  Please join me in a moment of silence at 11 a.m. tomorrow (EST) to
remember this incredibly special EB advocate.  There are angels in our midst, I
have no doubt - and Alejandra was one of them.

Best regards,
Gena Brumitt Gruschovnik
