Ellen-
I am sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I am so glad that Nancy is able to be there with you and am sure she has been a comfort for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I pray that G_d will wrap His loving arms around you as you grieve the loss of Steven. I worked directly with Steven for a little over 10 years at Swidler & Berlin. He was an amazing person and totally devoted to Abigail (whom I sold Girl Scout cookies for in the office). He and I spoke about all the Girl Scout cookies I sold just this past year. I will remember him with many fond memories. He will always be in our hearts and in our minds. He will be missed.
