Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to Jules family. The Kerness family is a friendship I hold dear. Wonderful people. Wonderful mentors.

I knew Jules having worked with Phoebe for several years in La Leche League. He was a wonderful teacher and mentor. I like to think Dan and Phoebe were there to welcome him.

I had the pleasure of working with Jules in my first job in the Legislature. He was an amazing advocate for children and had so much to teach all of us. A force for the children, to say the least. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I worked with Jules years ago at the NYS Senate. There was certainly never a dull moment when Jules was around! I learned a lot from him and I admired his dedication. My condolences.

It was an honor to know Jules, even if only for a brief time.
