Dear Ellen,
I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of your father. I have many treasured childhood memories of the days on Bessborough and Circle Road, of weekend shopping trips, going to the Nutcracker together, and generally having a lot of fun. Our parents were the best of friends and I of course remember Yankee greeting me at the door. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

Dear Karen, Joanne, Ellen and Family: Please accept my condolences on the death of Hy. When I visited Montreal he always showed me the hot spots that I missed in my youth. His knowledge of the city and kindness to others were legendary. The Rocklin family has lost our prime scion. "Ha-Makom yenahem etkhem b'tokh sha ar aveilei Tzion vYerushalayim--may the Omnipresent comfort you among all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem."
