To the family

As a child, my Aunt Cepa was always there for me. As a teenager, again there she was fussing about me. Adulthood arrived and there she was again. I will hold her in my heart forever. Love elaine

Dear Mickey, Santa, Gary and Judy,

I have such wonderful memories of Aunt Cepa going back to childhood.
She was always fun to be around and so welcoming to Steve and I.

She and Uncle Joe were always there for my mother for whatever she would need. We really appreciated their efforts.

Her smile is still with me and I think of her often. May your memories of her comfort you during this sad time.

Love,
Brenda and Steve

Dear Mickey and Santa, Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your mom. I remember meeting her years ago and it was a true pleasure. I know how much you both cared for her. She was equally as fortunate to have you both as you were to have her! May time help replace your sorrow with happy memories. Fondly, Nancy Swanson

Dear Gary, Judy, Mickey, and Santa,
We will never forget your dear Mother, "Aunt Cepa". I will always remember the exciting trips to Hartford to visit your house and how happy she was to see us all. She was very beloved by her entire family for her goodness and sweet disposition. My father, alav Ha shalom, and my mother loved her very much.
All of you excelled in the mitzva of honoring your father and mother. You all took such good care of her and she appreciated it very much.
May you all be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem,

Love,
Your cousins Joyce(feinstein) Miller and Michael.

Dear Gary, Judy and Family...
I was so saddened to read of your Moms passing...I have such fond memories of those wonderful times spent together with you and your mom..and me and my dad....seems like such a long time ago. I was so fond of her..she had such an incredible "spunky" way about her....and always greeted me lovingly. I had the opportunity to visit her a few weeks ago at the HH and I was glad I got to spend a few moments with her. I shall not soon forget her. I understand the grief all to well...surround yourself with loving friends and family and, by all means, keep those wonderful memories of her alive in your heart and you will perpetuate her wonderful soul forever...we will ALL miss her...
