You were the most genuine person I've ever known. I love you so much, and I hope I can live my life in a way that reflects the way you lived your own. I put roses and cards out for you on the street today, and watched so many strangers stop and pay a moment of silent respect. I know you saw those roses too, and will watch over all of us forever. I will never forget Freshman year, our the high school moments, the political debates, or the times we just sat in the Letts 3 lounge. You have changed so many peoples lives. 216 Forever.

Dear Shlonsky Family:
I never met your bright, talented son.  I am a Temple-Tefereth Israel congregant who received the email of this tragedy.  When I read his obituary and saw he was a 23 year old young man, my heart broke for him, for you and for everyone else who loved him deeply.  You have so much to be proud of.  That doesn't help you now.  That brings you little comfort.  There is something that will comfort you, someday;  and you will find a way, eventually.  Until then, my thoughts, prayers and condolences to all of you.  
With deepest sympathy,
Debbie Garson

Mike, Julianne & Eli,
