My deepest condolences. Jon was always a good-hearted and genuine person. I haven't known him in years, but every memory I have of him is a good one. I grew up next door to the Goldbergs and went through religious school and confirmation with Jon.

My husband Bradley and I attended the service at Sinai today as I grew up as a friend of Jon's sister Ellen. I would run into Ellen periodically before and after High Holiday Services at Sinai through out the years. I have a small family and I wanted to be there today for Ellen. It is hard losing a younger sibling. It's not supposed to be that way. The memories will brighten and the painful times will not be remembered. Hold on to the good times and don't be afraid to laugh when you think of Jon. It's the good times poking through.

Love Ruth Heymann Baker and Bradley Baker
