Dear Nina and Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. At 97 I am sure she had a very full life. We knew each other so many years ago, but they are all great memories as neighbors. My oldest daughter, Jane, remembers you both well and sends her sympathies as I do.
When I was at the Jewish Home after a fall years ago - was it Lisa who introduced herself to me. That was so nice. My love and prayers are with you and your families at this sad time.
Love, Gracie
