Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorated Through Service by State Bar Association and Attorney David Ray Rosales

I find this a very moving tribute to the GLBT community generally and to the members of that community who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy. As part of the GLBT community, Mary Ellen and I would like to extend a sincere thank you to David Ray Rosales for this gesture:

The New Mexico State Bar Foundation called on attorneys across the state to perform one good deed, or donate one hour of pro bono time to people who need civil legal services in honor of the anniversary of September 11, 2001.

David Ray Rosales, managing partner of the law firm, Rugge, Rosales & Associates, P.C, answers the foundation’s call by volunteering his time to prepare free Designation of Agent documents to members of New Mexico’s GLBT Community for the month of September.

“On the anniversary of September 11, 2001, I am reminded of the need for members of the GLBT community to prepare for the unthinkable,” says David Ray Rosales, “In New Mexico, same-sex partners are granted the authority to visit a loved-one in the hospital, arrange for disposition of a body and make funeral arrangements through Designation of Agent forms. I am humbled by the opportunity to prepare these forms without charge in memory of those GLBT community members lost on that tragic day.”
