I was truly sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a member of my play reading group and it was always fun to be with her. At the last session of all our classes she always wrote a poem to remember all the plays. She was so creative. Although they were always wonderful, one of the best was check off Chekov. I will miss her. The class will not be the same.

Knew Sid from 1938 til his demise. Met Doreen before their marriage. Loved each much. My late wife Cookie and I spent many Saturday nights playing bridge with them. Naomi's mother had a great sense of humor. Became a real estate law expert while defending her residence complex from infringements. Last saw Doreen following a "live from the Met" opera at a local movie house. She derived so much joy from Marc & Naomi's Daniel.
Sincerest Condolences, David.
