Not sure what to say?

Dear Karen, I just saw a tv commercial referencing Camp LeJuene victims and of course Ira came to mind. If you recall I helped Ira on full page ads he placed regarding his experience, and, because I refused payment, you both treated me to dinner at Steinhilbers. I literally just pulled up Ira´s email to write him and something told me to search first. My heart sank when I saw the news.

All,

Armie was my best friend and he fought the "good fight" for as long as he could.

I cannot imagine what you and John are going through because I and Ela are taking it really hard.
Starting next Festival of...

Sorry to hear the sad news
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family
