The irony of events often baffles us. It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of my friend and mentor, Mike Reusing, who along with his wife, Melissa Cole, has been a member of the OpSmile family for many years. Mike shepherded me through the beginning days of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in Cambodia and Peru, and I was honored to have his insight, guidance, and inspiration. Vietnam was a very special place for Mike and Melissa, and a little part of him will still be here with me throughout this mission.

I'm Mike's sister, Tricia. I loved seeing the photo of Mike, which I had never seen. I also think it's great that you have a mission going on right now. He and Melissa loved going on the missions and they always raved about the Op Smile volunteers/staff, the local hosts, and of course the children and their families. In addition to his other wonderful qualities, he was a wonderful big brother to me and I miss him terribly. Keep up your great work.
