Dear Addie, Wendy and Rona,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many happy memories of our families together and the good times we shared on Marie Parkway. I smile when I think of my father and Marv standing in the back yard, trying to solving the world's problems or at least how to deal with teenage daughters. Be strong, Marv will always be in your heart.

Dearest Addie,
I have such fond memories of Marv and you at Ohav Sholom functions with my parents Hilda and Ben Gordon. I believe I may have accompanied your singing on some of those occasions.
Please accept my deepest sympathies at your loss; Marv was a lovely soul, and his memory remains vivid to me.

My deepest sympathy to your family. In times such as these I find comfort from the Holy Scriptures. Psalms 55:22 says, "Throw your burden upon God himself, and he himself will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to totter." I hope you too can draw comfort from God's word the Bible.

Daddy, I will forever be grateful for the years of love, support, wisdom and I am so proud to be called your daughter. I only hope that I can have a small part of your spirit for life and your love of your family and close friends. I will always have an aching heart without you, I needed one more bear hug where you wouldn't let go of me. Melissa has the best kind of relationship with you, she adored you as you did she. I am so proud to be know as Marv Glazier's Daughter. I love you Daddy and will miss you all the days of my life. Wendy and I promise you we wil take care of Mom.XXXOO!
