I knew this wonderful woman through my email correspondence with her wonderful daughter Lila, who continually regaled me with Perle's clever, delightful, and imaginative remarks. They brightened my life and will continue to do so. How tragic that Perle's life was cut short at only 95!

Ninety-five years are not enough
When life has been so fine.
They're not enough for any life
Not Perle's, not yours, not mine.

Jon,

Your mother was an amazing woman. Both your mother and your father were very kind to me from our days in Freeport NY to today.

Your mother was fantastic raising you and your brother and sister.

Mrs. Suna, as I always referred, to her was a special person in my life as you are. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will all miss her, and keep happy memories close by.

Love,
Jeff
