Linda & Family:
I was stunned and saddened to hear of Jonathan's passing. He was a mentor and friend, a great lawyer but a better man. Knowing Jonathan made my life better.
You gave him a beautiful and touching send off today. It was good to hear the stories from his daughters and son-in-law. You hit the right notes and made me appreciate Jonathan all the more.
My kindest regards,
--Michael Rawson
