Dear Rabbi Friedman and family,
i was so saddened to hear of your loss and i was very moved to read your eulogy for your son. He sounds like he was very special young man.
Having just lost my father a month ago, I know i found solace in people's expression of condolence, even if they never knew my father. Your words for your son also brought me solace as i remember my father.
While i've never met you or your family, i am good friends with Rabbi David Gelfand-I was President of Temple Israel NYC for the past 4 years- and i know he was profoundly touched by your loss as well.
all my best thoughts and prayers go out to you.
warmest wishes,
Beth Lee
