Not sure what to say?

Dear Kalb Family...

You have no idea who I am, but, first let me say I am so sorry for your loss.

For whatever divine reason, I saw my copy of Jonah's book "How to play baseball better than you did last season" on my shelf tonite, pulled it down and looked through it after at least 30 years.

Dear Jan, Laura, and Eugene,

Love,
Lynn

Jan & Family- My condolences. Many years ago, Jonah and I worked together for far too brief a time. For some reason he selected me to mentor (in his own Dutch Uncle way). Best thing that ever happened to me. I'll never forget his gravelly voice, nor the advice.

Dear Jan & Family:

Jonah is one of our favorite people - always good laughs with him - always good baseball talk - always a wonderful sense of humor and a warm smile. He was special.

Our love to all - and prayers and good memories for Jonah.

Martha & Jim

Kindest regards to Jan and Family.
