James Morgan Read III

Dear Mrs. Read, Tobias and Hannah,

I am so sorry to hear of your incredible loss. My memories of Dr. Read from my junior high and high school days are of hospitality, gentle encouragement and ready smiles. I know how respected he was as a professional and how loved he was as a husband, father, grandfather, and friend. It is an honor to have known him and to continue to know his dear family, who carry on so many of his remarkable traits and gifts.

My thoughts and prayers...

Dear Heidi, Tobias and Hannah, I only met Jim once in 1984, but have
heard from Heidi every year since then. My abiding memory is of a

My love to you all. Faith
