To The Whole Family,
Gary and I were so sorry and saddened to hear about Tanta Ida. She was always so sweet!!!!! We send our condolences to all of you. I remember when I lived on Commonwealth, we use to go see Tanta Ida and Uncle Joe on Colvin. I will never forget the way she and Bubba Toni always had that German look. I'm so greatful that I have such fond memories of her. When Gary met her, he really adored her. She really welcomed him into our family with open arms. I'm so happy that he was fortunate enough to have known her. She will be dearly missed. Please know that we are so sorry that we can't be there with you at this difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Now Tanta Ida is with Uncle Joe again.

To Mrs. Wolf's Loving Family,
You have truly suffered a great loss with the passing of this wonderful lady. I can picture her, in the house on Colvin Blvd., welcoming me in the kitchen with, "Have a piece of cake!". (I still use her Passover wine cake recipe.)
Her greatest gift to me is the lifelong friendship with Myrna. Despite our current physical distance, our weekly e-mails have kept me abreast of all the news about your family. Mrs. Wolf's remarkable longevity was attended to by both devoted daughters. Her life was celebrated by all of you and her caretakers.
Mrs. Wolf's life was a blessing to us all. She is missed by many. Larry and I send our deepest sympathy to you all.
Sincerely,
Tobi Horwitz
