You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Psalm 34:19 "Adonai is close to the brokenhearted, And helps those crushed in spirit."

Byron was my teacher at Spertus College. He wrote an amazing letter of recommendation for me (which I know because I was working in the office and he had me type it for him) and eventually even tried to recruit me for a job there.

Yehi zichro baruch.
