I am sending condolences on behalf of my mom, Bertha Lewis. My mother was a childhood friend of your mom. They started achool together at Sidney School and later Randolph School. My mother lived in the 1900 block of Idlewood Avenue and your mother and her sisters, brothers and parents lived in the 1700 block of Idlewood Avenue. May God bring you and your family peace in the midst of this storm.
