Not sure what to say?

Donald was always a pleasure to work with in my many years with him.

Thank you to the Jonas Family for making my PhD dream a reality!

Thank you for your and your family´s generosity in offering me the Jonas scholarship for the 2018-2020 term. Visual health has become near and dear to my heart (and eyes) and I take every opportunity to teach visual health to all students I encounter. I could not have done that with out your efforts and recognizing the importance of what nurses so. May your memory continue to be a blessing to those who knew and loved you.

My condolences to the Jonas family. What a wonderful legacy Donald and Barbara Jonas have left. I am a 2021-2023 Jonas Scholar studying environmental health. This support has transformed me personally and in my career. I am studying environmental health and impacts of wildfire smoke on underserved populations. I am forever grateful for the Jonas foundation and dedication to nurse education. Washington State College of Nursing

Though I never had a chance to meet Mr. Jonas, I am forever indebted to him and the Jonas Foundation. As a 2021-2023 Jonas Scholar I am grateful to his commitment to the advancement of nursing science and the overall goodwill to humankind. It is my hope that myself and fellow scholars make him proud and continue the Jonas legacy.

Dear Jonas family, I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of Mr Jonas. He and Mrs Jonas made such a lasting impression on me when I worked with them as part of their advisory team at WFPB. What wonderful role models for us all. One of my favorite experiences was playing golf with Mr Jonas at Sunningdale. His eyesight was failing, but with the help of his caddie, he hit the greens better than the rest of us! His memory always brings a smile to my face. And what a wonderful mark...

Our sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Jonas. We are incredibly grateful for the generous support for nursing education over the years through the Jonas Scholar program. His legacy will have long lasting effects through all of the nurses supported by this excellent program.

My sympathies and gratitude to the family as I was blessed to have been a Jonas Scholar at seton Hall University.
