My condolences to all of you. I knew Mildred through my sister, Shirley Novakoff and was pleased to be with her last January at Shirley's birthday party. I am so happy that we could spend a little time together that day as we hadn't seen each other for many years. We had many good laughs together in our younger days and participated in activities connected with Temple Kehilleth Israel and the Jewish War Veterans.

Dear All,
Mom had a great life with many, many laughs peppered with a few tears. Ironically I drove by the old "homestead" the other day and had some great flashbacks to our youth.

We did have some great times in Brookline. As everyone always asked "which Piltch are you" ? Mildred was certainly proud of all that each of you have achieved. She also treated you as individuals. Hugs & Kisses.
