Dear Ella and family- It pained Megan and I so much to hear of Dr. Korenman's death today. He was always so kind and sincere, and one of those people who are bound to touch your life. The first time I met him he was giving me advice about my career, and it was just last week when he was giving me advice about the wedding... it makes me think of what a long and happy marriage you two have shared... I can only hope I have the same. He will truly be missed, and I hope we keep in touch Ella.
You are in my prayers,
