Dear Marilyn and family,

I was so sorry to read that Jonathan died and that he had been suffering with ALS. My cousin's daughter - in her thirties - also has it and I know how difficult this must have been for him and for you.

I have such clear memories of playing with both your sons when I was at my aunt and uncle's house. I hope that the wonderful memories you have will be a comfort in the days to come.

My sympathies and my thoughts and prayers are with you,

Nancy Slater Weiss
