Dear Eleanor and Linda,
I am so sorry to hear of Mez's passing. I've been thinking of past memories of times we spent together beginning with Linda watching Maxine when we first moved in back in 1958, taking me to the hospital when I was about to give birth to Scott, and the numerous neighborhood parties. Fond memories of Mez, and you two. May the blessings of your life together remain with you always and comfort you in this sad time.
Love,
Fran Factor Weiser

Dear Eleanor and Linda,
I am so sorry to have learned of Mez's passing. I remember him as a funny man and a very dear friend of my father's when we were growing up, right across the street from your family. May your memories of him help you through this difficult time.

To the Rayhill family
I was so sorry to read of your new loss, only three weeks after his sister Marion, I talked with him at the funeral,never knowing his passing was so close behind. There are not any words to express our sympathy to you all, at this time worrds are void and your hurt so new. IYou have our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. Again our deepest sympathy. Always remember "memories are one gift from God that death can not destroy" He will sustain you during this path you are now on.

My thoughts and prayers are with Eleanor and Linda at this time. I have many fond memories of the early morning trips in the summer to go out on the boat with Mez and a stop at Dunkin' Donuts on the way. He added a bright spot in my life - thank you.
