Dear Mikie & Ronnie,
I find it so hard to believe what has happened. I have such wonderful memories of mother & dad. Mother was like my "other mother". You both are very fortunate to have had such wonderful parents. I know they will be terribly missed. All our love to you both, Gail & Don Handler

To Miki and Ronnie,

It was just a year ago that Stacey and I were sitting on the beach with both your parents. You both should feel amazingly grateful that they both lived wonderful, long, HEALTHY lives. We just found out about your MOM, and please know we are ALL thinking of you at this painful time.
