Not sure what to say?

So sorry to her of Hanny's passing. What a life we all had on the "Block". All the Ladies of the block are together again!

We originally met Hanny through Al Goldberg while she was living in Ann Arbor. We shared many delightful times together, and the conversation and companionship was always great. After she moved to Oak Park, we would see her usually during the summer, something we all looked forward to. Whether we were talking about family matters, favorite TV programs or politics, Hanny was always warm and caring whether we were eating out at a neighborhood restaurant or at the rooftop dining at her facility,...

We lost touch once she moved to Ann Arbor but I will always remember her with love and appreciation. May her memory be for a blessing.
