Dear Mark,
From a message sent from the Temple Beth El office I just learned of your dear mother’s death. Within the course of just a few minutes, so many thoughts and recollections emerge in my mind. I think of the frequent times your mother and I had worked together over the years in the synagogue-community, and her very cheerful greetings when, after moving to Florida, she would return each year with you for Rosh Hashanah. The image of her smiling face and demeanor comes up in my mind as well as the very difficult times we had shared with Leslie’s, and later, your father’s illness and the losses which you and your mother subsequently experienced. From a family of four, you are now the sole survivor and family representative. I’m sure you will bear that role in a most worthy manner.
