Dorothy and family:

I am so sorry to hear of Ted's passing. Hopefully knowing he is in a better place and at peace will bring comfort. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Extraordinary. It is impossible to sum a shining, century-long life with one word, but, for me, extraordinary seems a fitting beginning. Even though we became friends recently, Dr. Jorgensen’s indelible imprint, both professionally and personally, will remain part of me forever. My sincerest condolences to his family.
