Dear Marilyn and Harvey,
I was so sorry to hear about mom's passing. I always smile when I remember the times at temple of us "kids" upstairs and our parents giving us the hairy eye for being too noisy. Also, a summer doesn't go by that I don't think foundly of our times at your house hanging and talking to mom. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dear Marilyn and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I remember how she always took time to talk to me whenever I visited the store, and what a nice lady she was. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish you strength, and hope you find joy in her memory.
