Mrs. James Bejoian & Family;

Words cannot express the sorrow Donna and I feel for your loss. Mr. Bejoian, and his family have created a legacy that will supersede generations. As a family you have continuously demonstrated that love and respect for your neighbor is sacrosanct. Personally, I treasure the respite you provided in Chatham. Although we are all saddened by your loss, know that James and his family touched many lives through his humor, temperament, and abundant generosity, compassion and example. While we pray for solace for your family, we are also strengthened by the knowledge that The Bejoian Family will continue to exemplify the best principles personified by James Bejoian.

Personally we hope to meet that litmus standard. Thank you for your trust and faith! No one has ever shown more love and respect to us than the James Bejoian Family!
God Bless!
