Dear Josh, Mr. Bob Weitzman and Family,



I read about Mrs. Weitzman's passing, and knew it was your mother. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, who was a great, accomplished woman - not only by being a mother, but a seemingly dynamic artist as well.



It has been many years since we have spoken, but this e-mail address was provided, so I wanted to reach out to extend our sympathy.



My family and I are thinking of you and yours during your time of loss.



Sincerely,



The Jahn Family (Tony, Inga ('85 DHS alum), Jeremy and Lauren)

Marilyn was one of my wife, Carole's, oldest and dearest friends. Several of her art pieces have an honored place in our home in San Diego. I am grateful that Carole is in Chicago and able to convey her last respects in person. I know it is very important for her to be able to do so.
