Dear Deena,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have many fond memories of her and your entire family when you and Marcy were young. She was a strong and loving person and it was a privilege to know her.

Dear Deena and the Fintel/Leonard Family,
My sympathy goes out to you all. Your mother was such a lovely woman. I remember her vividly as being super smart, funny and strong -- and she made the BEST cheesecake in the world. I still have her wonderful recipe, and I will cherish it always.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Fintel Family in their time of grief. At times like these, "God is near to those who are broken at heart;
And those crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34:18) I hope this will bring the family a measure of comfort.

Dear Fintel family:
I was sorry to read of the death of your loved one, Slava. Please accept my condolences.
God promised Abraham, "all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you." Genesis 12:3
In order to fulfill that promise God will resurrect from the dead representatives of families tha thave died out. Life for such resurrected ones will truly be a blessing, since most of them will come back to an earthly situation resembling the Paradise that man originally lost.
May that promise give you some comfort during this distressing time.
