Honoring loved ones with a memorial gift to VAI Our mother, Gisela Kah, was a vibrant, vital woman who passed away this summer after a decade-long struggle with dementia. We chose to honor her by creating a memorial fund at Van Andel Institute. These tributes fund the important research at VAI in a deeply personal, meaningful way. We take comfort knowing that a gift in our mother’s name moves scientists and society ever closer to finding the next breakthroughs in treating the diseases that take our loved ones too soon. — Birgit Klohs — Greg Northrup — Astrid Müller — Julia Müller VAN ANDEL INSTITUTE HIGHLIGHTS OF HOPE | 31
