Box 1492, Christiansted St. Croix, Virgin Islands 00821 September 13, 2025 Honorable Avery Lewis Senator, Chairperson Committee on Government Operations, Veterans Affairs and Consumer Protection 36th Legislature of the Virgin Islands P.O.

I have known Dr. Anduze my entire life. The bond between our families span more than eight decades. Although our lives have often taken us down differing paths, that bond is as strong today as k was when we were growing up in Estate La Grande Princesse. When my mother was diagnosed with dementia two years ago, “Freddie” as he is affectionately known to me, sent me a copy of his book Un-Unusual People A Caregiver’s Manual. His “Ups and “suggestions” not only guided me as I managed her care, but taught me to be patient with myself on those days when things just didn’t seem to go right. The Roman statesman Cicero once said that “the eyes like a sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.” Dr. Anduze’s empathy and unwavering commitment to his patients not only saved lives, but brought hope and healing to many struggling with the fear and uncertainty of losing their sight. The impact of his contributions to the field of ophthalmology extends far beyond the confines of hospitals and clinics. He has helped to shape health care systems, drive medical advancements, and champion public health initiatives. In closing, not only does Bill No. 36-0107 celebrate the unwavering dedication of Dr. Alfred Lee Anduze to field of medicine and the healing arts, it serves as a testament to the fact that his accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. I thank you for your Dr. Alfred Lee Anduze consideration of these comments as you prepare to honor this outstanding member of our community. I, ;sicere1y, Patncia D Ste e
