Dear Jay & Rikki

My deepest condolences for your loss. I don't normally view the Paper and didn't see the notice. A mutual friend (Karen Lewis) informed me and I will keep you in my prayers. Sincerely

We never knew your son and we can't imagine how you can sustain the blow of losing him. We can only tell you how sorry we are. Janice would have been crushed.
We wish we could do something to help--but there's no way to bring him back.

Jonathan was my best friend. I considered him to be my brother. We did so much together and he was a big part of my life. I still cannot grasp the fact that he's gone, and I'm not sure I ever will. Jon and I were brothers under our religion of Judaism, calling each other 'achi' every time we spoke. I will always love him and always miss him. I miss you Yehuda! - Adam Terho

Jay & Ricki,
Emily called me about Jonathan. I'm so sorry I didn't get to see you in person, but was out of town for three days. When we moved in next door, I remember seeing these two little faces peering out from your front door---the first people I saw in our new neighborhood. It was fun watching the those two little boys grow up alongside our kids. Words can't express the sorrow one parent feels for another over such a loss. All I can say is Jonathan was blessed to have grown up in such a household where he was so loved and had the opportunity for so many wonderful experiences. I hope we have a chance to see each other in person in the near future, but in the meantime, you and B Miles are in our thoughts and prayers.
