I remember meeting Jean and Robert Benjamin when Meg invited me to her home when we were in High School to watch the Apartment in the movie room. They were very kind to me and glad I met them.

Dear Jon, Jeanne and family: I saw your mother on too few occasions, but each encounter was pleasant and endearing. I, too am saddened by her passing and send my love and sympathy to you, Sasha, Joanna and Robert. My condolences to Meg and her family.

Dear Jonny:
Ricky called me yesterday and told me of your mom's passing. I have many fond memories of her from the numerous times I'd stay over or just visit. The last time I saw her was at the wedding reception she threw for you in KP almost 25 years ago. I don't think I had seen her in more than 10 years and the warm smile of remembrance really touched me. I know she will be sorely missed, and Holly's and my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

It is not easy to know where to start-Jean and her husband Bob were family friends from nearly 70 years ago. I will always remember how sweet and loving Jean was to me, as well as the many family visits to their Kings Point home(s) in the 50's-70's, and all her generosity. My love to the family.

Dear Meg and Jon,

Your mother was always so good to us and we talk about her often. We had such good times playing tennis and I always imagined her and Mr. Fuchs watching me try to learn with Jeremy. They must have had many a good laugh! We will always think of her fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.

Love, Joan

Jean was a wonderful woman. I am Sarah Zura's son, Michael, and I am sorry I can not attend this service. She will be missed greatly. All my prayers go out to the family.
