Not sure what to say?

Dear Nancy: I have been looking for you for several years. I am so sorry that I found you because of your husband's death. But happy that I have connected this "loose" end in my own memory path. We met in Swannanoa, NC in 1954. I think of you often. Sometimes I get back to Boston where my husband and I lived for nearly 20 years (64-84).

Nancy and Claire,

Irv was a great mind and Boston and Harvard will miss him. Your loss is great and I wish you the best future possible without him.

Rebecca

I will miss talking to you and learning from your most marvelous past. with love.
