Unexpected presents (well almost, we didn’t know what they were).
We found a new restaurant to show her
so quick and unexpected
It still feels like we are going to pick her up at the airport and go to Hawaii.
She taught me to listen with stories that I grew to know by heart.

Last night while Syd and I were straightening up at my mother's house, I was struck by the lack of a clear stratigraphic sequence in the papers and objects we found.

To Mark and Seth and family, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I am so sorry that I didn't get to meet her. I'm sure she will be long remembered for her dedicated community service. Her good works will live on. All my best to you at this difficult time,
Dr. Barbara Connor, Auburn, NY

Mark, you may not remember me or my sister. Your Great Grandmother was a friend of my Great Grandmother long ago.

So we go back a long way.

Unfortunately, many years have gone by since I spoke to your...

Jane, Bill and Sharon Fox wish to extend their sincere condolences to the family of Harriet Kupferberg. We will always remember her as a kind and gentle lady.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Harriet personally, but I spoke to her on the phone and was charmed by her gracious, warm personality. I was so looking forward to meeting her. Mark, please accept my prayers and most sincere condolences. We at Auburn Memorial Hospital will never forget her generosity in supporting health care in the area she adopted as her summer home.
Most sincerely,
Beverly Miller

Harriet was a very kind, loving, fun and amazing lady. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to share a small part of her life. She was a wonderful friend to my parents and me. I will truly miss her, but will treasure the memories I have of her.

Anne, Mark, Lilly, Leah and Kenney, We are all so sorry to hear about you mom and beloved grandma. We only just met Harriet recently but we really admired her. She complemented me on my children and always had a positive attitude. It was a pleasure and an hononr to know her. If there is anything we can do for any of you at this very difficult time please do not hesitate to call on us.
Shalom from your friends; Ron, Amy, Alex and Rachel Schechter
