Dear Rachel, Rivka, Dan, Alex, Jocelyn, Molly, and families;

I am so very sorry to learn of your loss; my heart goes out to all of you. Stew was a truly beloved founding member of MCJC, and he was always present during the good times and bad. He cared very deeply for MCJC. I always enjoyed working and chatting with him, and I looked forward to seeing him at services. I'll miss his smiles and his hugs. May his memory be for a blessing.
Lovingly,

I have never seen a more confusing list of names in my life. I'm grateful you all are honoring him in death as you did not in life. Peace be with you in the end.
