Lisa Goldberg and Michael Cohen: Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your son, Adam. May his memory be a blessing.

To the Goldberg Cohen Family- We were shocked and saddened to hear of Adam´s passing. Our hearts go out to you and your family. We just saw Adam in Israel at our son´s wedding. He was surrounded by friends. What an amazing son you raised. Our thoughts are with you. May you find comfort in his memory.

We were visiting my son in VA when I read of the passing of your son in the MWRDGC email. I can only tell you that I cried for you at the loss of your incredible son. When I saw my son later that day, I gave him the biggest hug I possibly could. Stay strong and reach out if I can help you thru this very difficult time.
