Not sure what to say?

"Last but not least" we all heard those famous words being used.

My aunt Ida was one of nine children and the last one to pass on. She had a long and busy life.

Our deepest sympathies go out to her children Fred (Susan), Yale (Dee) and grandchildren Andrew, Melissa and Jason.

Dear Fred & Yale:

I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Ida. I have many fond memories of her and Sam taking me the car when I was a little boy (cigar smell and all) to go and see the Govenor General's Footguards Band at Landsdowne Park every Sunday night. I remember her amazing baking and the cookies and cakes she would bring to my parents house when they came to visit. I remember the four of them ( my Mom and Dad) and Sam & Ida sitting in my backyard on summer nights...

Dear Fred:

On behalf of Joe and I please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother.

May you be spared of further sorrow.

Ida Gaffen in the Obituary Column - sorry, but this is something that I thought nearly impossible. Ida was the intellectual of the Roodman family - fun, honest, sharp. I recall visiting her a few years ago - what should I bring ?? New York Times of that day plus a gift. Ida - your Mother, Mother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law, Bubby, friend said: Mort, NY Times - of COURSE, I love New York.

Her type are rare today - and the world is less interesting as a result.

Osse Shalom...
