Dear Gail,Mark, Judy and David
I share your loss with you. I will never forget your Mom and Aunt Rosie on our trip to Israel. It was priceless.
Your Mom and I kept close contact with each other and I loved her dearly. She was a great lady, sister in law and precious friend. I know she is with my folks in heaven now and at peace.
I visit your Uncle Abe when I can. He is 82 now and is growing older just like I am. I am so sorry that we could not be with you at Dorothy's funeral but our prayers are with you .
I am having some health problems with walking so I could not walk very well.
Know that we are thinking about you.
God bless you all. I think of Dorothy and Rose often. Give our regards to Julius and rest of the family.

Dear Mark,
The lost of a parent leaves a hole that can be paralizing .... I pray that you and your family will fill it with your memories of her and keep it full. This will keep her alive for those who knew and loved her and also for the younger generations who can carry her memory and love to you all as an inspiration into thier futures.

Dear Gail, Judy, David, Mark and family,
I just wanted you all to know how very special my Aunt Dorothy was to me. She was such a kind person. I always tell my sister Lisa that she reminds me of your Mom. I was so glad to see your Mom when she came down to Florida to visit Poppy. She was able to meet my husband and children. My husband Bob had taken her to the airport when she left, and after only knowing her for such a short time he spoke to me about what a special lady she was. She was a woman who touched many with her kindness, and even when she became ill she still came down to Florida to visit her little sister when she needed her.Your Mom had a heart of Gold.
Love to all of you in this difficult time.
Marcy, Bob, Max, Matthew and Talia
