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

We were saddened to read about Jonathons' passing.

Hope with the passage of time, you will only remember the "Good Times"

Our fondest regards
