Dearest Leslie, Mrs. John Friedson,
Nashville was with you and John today.
Your words to your love via the congregation, across the country, and probably the world too, were
breathtaking. Y'all's love story is the dream that every little girl and boy hope comes to fruition as yours did. What a tribute to your John and what a tribute to you, from y´all´s extraordinary family, which you both created. Your gorgeous children who are every bit as substantial as you and your John.
Thanks for sharing John with everyone. You know how much we love him and needed too know he was around.
You are so beautiful, eloquent, and grateful to have been loved so deeply which I admire. We always toasted Leslie for being the woman, with whom John wanted to spend his life. You are beyond amazing! May G-d give you the strength.
It´s been truly an honor knowing your gentle giant and being known by him.
Love,
Rae Levine
