Mrs. Feuerstein was such a nice lady. She often was a substitue at FHS when I was in Jr. High & High School. My deepest sympathy to her family, friends, and all who loved her.

Dear Starette and Abe,

I send my deepest sympathy for your huge loss. Your mother was absolutely wonderful and had such a vibrant life. She was especially there for all her children no matter what the circumstances. I feel she has more than earned her place in heaven where she'll be blissfully spending eternity with her beloved Martin, Jocie and Jillian. However, as I know all too well, such comforting thoughts do nothing to heal the pain of your loss. For that I am so very sorry. God bless you with strength and good health as you learn to live with your new normal.

Love always,

Anita

Dear Starette & Abra,

I was so deeply saddened to hear of your wonderful mother's passing from my Aunt Jean. Aunt Jean and my sister Marsha both said that your mother had a long and very good life, and indeed she did.
She had boundless energy and enthusiasm, she was a devoted wife and mother and grandmother, and a loyal friend to so many who loved and admired her.
I will never forget her kindness to me, and I really looked forward to seeing her on my visits to Franklin.
I know she was welcomed into the arms of your father and her beloved Jocie and Jillian in Heaven.
When you look up into the night sky, look for the brightest stars, and one of them will be your mother, shining brightly in that sky, just as she did here on earth, watching over you and protecting you with total, unconditional love.
My thoughts and my prayers are with you and with all of your family at this very sad time.
Bravo Polly to a life well lived. You will never be forgotten.

Starette and Abra
You have had a tough couple of weeks; once this pain is over, you will be left with the good memories and what hot stuff Polly was. Thinking of you...

My thoughts are with the family. She was friends with my mother for nearly 80 years
