She keeps a picture of Dr. Connie in the reception area of their clinic where her two sons still carry on the family practice. At first it was all anyone could talk about. But slowly, over the years her name is mentioned less and less. New patients come who never knew Dr. Connie. She is just a beautiful smiling picture hanging on the wall.
Life moves on.
Every year on the anniversary of Ricardo's birth, March sixth, let us remember and celebrate his life and work. This is the only thing that we as a group can do to thank him and honor him for giving his life for the advancement of Women's Health. We must let his family know that he will not be forgotten. That is, I believe, the best thing we can do to care for them in this tragedy. We owe it to Ricardo to help them by letting them know he did not die in vain and obscurity.
