Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Joel's death; I had not known that he was ill. I'm so sorry.

I am sorry to hear of Joel's passing. He and my dad, David Macomber, were very close friends and Joel was my Godfather. Through him, I met Jackie and her daughter, Audrey and Audrey's children, who became friends with my daughter, Caitlin.
Joel also kindly rented the above apartment to my late Grandma, Bea. Not only was he a family friend, a landlord and a professor, he was a cool guy to be around. RIP Joel. Sending my condolences to his family and to Jackie. Much love, Carrie
