MARLENE FELDMAN

My heart hurts that I did not have enough time with Marlene, who I only met last Fall. Marlene called me on Sept. 17th of last year because she recognized the subject of my painting hanging in the Clubhouse. We chatted on the phone a long time that day when we realized we grew up in the same Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, and went to the very same grade schools, but had never met. She and Heinz left for home the next day, so we made plans to have coffee the next time they drove up.

My late father and I were blessed to meet Marlene and Heinz on a cruise a few years ago. We enjoyed their company so much and Marlene was such a Lady! We looked forwar to our daily meals in the dining room as we enjoyed their company very much.

Dear Zane,
I hope you feel better soon. I know you loved your grandma a lot and I know you will cherish great memories of her for the years to come. I promise you, things will get better soon.
Your friend,
Adam
