Dear Robin and Steve,
Ellen and I are so sorry to hear of this devastating loss. We remember you and Ben so fondly from the those days so long ago when Ben and Daniel were part of the mothers' group and Steve stepped in as the pediatrician when Dan was born. Unfortunately, we never met David but we do know he had two wonderful parents. After all these years, we wish this wasn't the reason for re-connecting. Daniel also sends his condolences. Fondly, the Fishmans

I was on vacation in New Hampshire when I learned the sad news of David's tragic death and the equally tragic loss of the three young friends who died trying to save him. My heart aches for Steve and Robin and my prayers and thoughts are with them and their family as they grieve the loss of one they loved so much. May God strengthen and sustain them in this most difficult time.
