I just discovered your loss. I am truly sorry that we never got together to trace the Rudnick family. Please accept my sympathy.

Dearest Alice and Janie,

Thinking of all the "Life Lessons" I learned over the years from your Mom. Watching you both as little tykes at the Ranch...keeping track of your exploits over the years as related by an adoring Mother.....etc.
I shall miss her enormously, until I catch up with her in "the World To Come."

Yours in Sadness, Sympathy, and Empathy.
