<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Karen and Jim,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I knew Jonathan and I liked Jonathan.
Way back in 77 when I was at Student House I was also working with
the 4th, 5th and 6th graders. And Jonathan would come to my room
and we'd read together. I introduced him to phonics and he found
that helpful. Anyway, I liked having him pop into my room and I've
been most interested thru the years to follow his activities. I
would often say, "Go Jonathan!"</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Life moves on for all of us. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">And now may the Spirit guide you and
give you peace.</div>

<span style="background-image: initial; background-position:

June 6, Jonathan suffered a cardiac arrest (triggered by
asthma attacks possibly exacerbated by the air pollution from
the Canadian wildfires) and died. 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>

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. Each and every one is meaningful to us.
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. Life is precious and mysterious. </span><br>

and love,</span><br>
