In Memory of Donald Moyer
Dear Friends:
I’m writing to let you know that my husband, Donald Moyer, died on November 7, 2019. I was with him. He passed gently and was well cared-for.
I am grateful to the staff and caregivers at Silverado and to his hospice team at Crossroads. I thank Margie Cohea, Margarita Nunez, Mark David Hayman-Martinez, Bonnie Maeda, and Gay White for their immeasurable support.
In lieu of cards and flowers, consider contributing to the Donald Moyer Memorial Yoga Scholarship Fund (through www.PayPal.com to info@yogaroomberkeley.com), or to Berkeley Rotary Endowment (www.berkeleyrotary.org), which funds scholarships, the Rotacare Clinic, and more.
With kindness,
Linda Cogozzo
