Dear Alvin, Barry, and Jennifer,
I was just notified of Gail's passing and I am still shaking. Norman and I want to tell you all how deeply saddened we are, and to extend our most heartfelt sympathy to you and all of your family. I will never forget my close friendship with Gail during our time living in Hoffman Estates and Buffalo Grove. I have since always missed that relationship.
I notice that your brother/ uncle also died recently and we are so sorry for that as well.
Sincerely,
Lauren Cantor
