Isabel, I still think of you often with great respect and miss you being here on earth so we can interact. I hope the expression "resting in peace" is accurate and that´s what you are doing, although I still see you as the very active woman you were, involved in everything!

I continue to think of you and remember the fun times and many conversations we shared on religion, politics and charitable giving.

My husband always says we pass on to a better world, I hope you are enjoying life with your beloved Sam!

I still remember her love of life and optimism. And every time I go to Mt. Sinai hospital and see the Isabel and Sam May memorial I am cheered by her memory. She and my father, Sidney Meyer, had an inexhaustible zest for life.

My sympathies to the family in your loss of Isabel. May the God of all comfort (Psalm 83:18) give you the strength to cope during this time of loss.

To Linda and Peter and their families: I had the honor and pleasure to work with Isabel and Sam for the 13 years that I was the Development Director at the MJJHA. More importantly, I was proud to be their friend. We had many conversations about their philanthropy and Sam's accounting expertise. Isabel's professional experience as a social worker added to their leadership roles on the Home's Board. We also spoke about Lawrence GC... since my late Mother and Father were members. I still have my Mom's Golf trophy. May you enjoy all of your personal memories.

Isabel was an amazing woman - absolutely clear in her opinions , while open minded and interested in new ideas. I admired her a lot, as a supporter of our abortion fund in Miami,as a person devoted to her family and as a free thinker. I wish I had known her longer and better. All my condolences. Lynn Meyer (Sidney Meyer's daughter)
