Dearest Lillian, Susan & Richard,

There are no words to describe the great gift that Irving gave to so many people. I used to say to Irving, "you're like any other artist, but your hands are the brush and your flowers the paint, you create one original masterpeice after another." When Irving Glick's flowers arrived, they left people speechless!

I am so sorry I missed the services but had no idea of the passing until recently when I spoke with Richard.

I have so many fond memories for the last 25 years! Irving and Lillian have been there through the best and the worst; the marriages, the births, fundraisers, and during our most difficult losses.

I will never be able to repay you for the kindness you extended, the stories you shared and the laughter that I can still hear as though Irving were right next to me.

Thank you again for sharing your talent, wisdom and friendship! Irving will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace!

Much love and deepest sympathy,

Jennifer Katz
