[Oe List ...] Celebrating the life of Jonathan Troxel

[Judith Hamje]

Dear Karen and Jim and Elizabeth
I cried when I read your message. I can only imagine the pain that you are
all going through right now . It was such a sudden loss of a son and
husband. When I told Randy he also was sad and  sends his condolences as
well. He is a couple of years older than Jonathan, but knew him probably up
until 6th grade .

It is wonderful to hear how Jonathan was working on the archives to get the
Phase 1 material into the system. I hope that work continues. Sending you
prayers of Peace and comfort.

Judith
