    My mother and I want to express our deepest condolences to you Shirley and your children. My parents relationship with David going all the way back to China was always special to them. David always reminded me that my father pushed him around in a baby carriage as he pushed me in one also. It is a loss of family that is felt by both of us. Unfortunately I will be in California tomorrow and unable to make his funeral.
    With all our love, Ralph and Edith Nathan
