My husband and I were so sorry to hear that Mildred has died. I am Elizabeth (Betsy) Appelbaum; my husband is Bradley. My parents, Reuben and Isabel Berman, were dear friends of the Lights for many years. After Mildred became a widow and my father became a widower, they were companions. Mildred treated my father and his family like her family. We visited in each others' homes, and Mildred was a gracious host. An unforgettable memory is a trip to Paris with Mildred, my father, Brad, and me in...

Grandma,
I wish I could've spent more time with you over the last several years. I will always remember how strong-willed and courageous you were no matter what obstacles in life got in your way. I'll keep the sweet memory close to my heart when I saw you last, and your beautiful smile when you got to hug Lauren and Hannah - your great granddaughters. We all miss you and love you very much.
Love, Miriam, Rob, Lauren, and Hannah Pogulis
