Dear Joel, Elliot, Jeff, and Richard,
Your Mom was one of the greatest conversationalists that I had the pleasure to know. She would engage me in talk anywhere (the supermarket, the street, shul) and she was never less than a fascinating lady with a sharp mind and a great sense of humor.
She was a real friend.

I will never forget her and will miss her deeply.
