Dear Cousins,

What a loss to the family, and especially to Estelle, Sharon, Carole and Michael and their families. While the suddenness is shocking, there might be some peace in gratitude for the swiftness and lack of prolonged suffering.
Now we must rest in the comfort and love of friends and family, and remember and appreciate all the years we shared with this loving husband, father, grandfather and cousin.

Loving condolences,

Barbara Adler

Carole and family,
I'm so sad to learn your dad passed away. He was a special person and still lives on in all of you. I have many fond memories of him going back to when you all lived in Winthrop. I'm so glad I was able to see him last year at Carole's 50th surprise party.

You're in my thoughts and prayers,

Amy Gordon Francer
