<div dir="ltr">Dear Karen and Jim and Elizabeth<div>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 . </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Judith</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 9, 2023 at 11:32 AM Martha Laird via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">dear Karen and JIm and Liz, I am truly saddened to hear of the death of Jonathan.

He has had asthma since he was child. He began having strong problems with his breathing last Thursday, saw a doctor on Saturday, but still continued to have issues. Before going to work Tuesday, he texted us that he had another asthma attack, but was feeling better and proceeded to go to work. After he had walked the one block to work at the Admiral at the Lake Retirement Center, he told his staff colleagues that he was breathless and collapsed. All the nurses from the Admiral, the EMT paramedics and the hospital ER team were not able to revive him.</span><br><br><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">This of course has been a great shock to our lives - Jim and I as well as Jonathan’s wife, Elizabeth. We are in the midst of deciding what are the appropriate ways to celebrate his life. Although we don’t know who is reading this email, you too may have had experiences of death that you have wrestled with how to celebrate the life of your loved one. We thought sharing about Jonathan through the Dialogues was one way to celebrate.</span><br><br><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">If Jonathan knew you, he loved you. Any time someone would visit Jim and I, he wanted to see them too. He loved his experiences as a child in the Order, singing “Try to Remember” in the Student House, and was disappointed when Jim and I left the Order community. He has been pleased that Jim and I have re-engaged with the ICA. In the past couple of years he has enjoyed working with the Phase I files of the Global Archives in order to have them put on its website. And he has kept up with the lives of many who have transitioned from this life. Now he is among them.</span><br><br><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Jim, Elizabeth and I are grateful for the messages and phone calls we have received.

Thank you.</span><br><br><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Take good care of yourselves, especially in these days of uncertain air quality or illnesses.
