Dear Mrs. Yonney, Nate, & Julie,

I'd like to express my deepest sympathies to your family. I understand quite a bit of time has passed, but I did not learn of the event until yesterday. Although I only met Mr. Yonney once, I grew to know Nate pretty well while at Kutztown. Nate is one of the nicest guys I've ever met to this day. Never spoke a bad word about anyone, and when people around him would say things, he would always stick up for them without even knowing who the person was! Although we've lost touch, I'm sure Nate still has the same great qualities. I've never seen him get mad; hurt or upset, yes, but never mad at anyone. Even when he and Rick had to wait for me (I would ride home with them some weekends since I lived in Bath), he would never be mad at me for being late. He would only make a little joke about it and laugh. I remember eating at the Airport Diner with he and Julie and thinking how I was so jealous that she had a brother and better yet....I was jealous of how they really cared for each other. Nate is the true definition of an older brother. He was protective, and he had Julie's best interest in mind all the time. The relationship I saw with them was so wonderful. I have a sister that I am very close to, but I had never seen a brother and sister that close, and still to this day have not. My point in all the reminiscing is that Nate became who he is today because of the wonderful upbringing he had. You have a wonderful family and I'm so very sorry for your loss. I am truly sorry for your loss and your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely,
Jessica (Flynn) Ehrhardt
