Dear Richard, Helene, Jimmy and Doris and Famiy,
I extend my deepest sympathy with the loss of your beautiful and gracious Mom. She and Martin were special to my husband and to me throughout the years. We were part of the Temple Sinai Founding Families. But our friendship and respect for one another went beyond those borders. I am sorry I was away and could not be with you to say farewll at the funeral. My heart, respect and love are with you all,

To Ruth's sons and families,
I enjoyed getting to know your mom and listening to her stories of starting up Temple Sinai and the wonderful years shared with your Dad. We also spoke about her visits to Dallas, since I lived there for 7 years. She will be missed by residents and staff of the Gardens. May all your memories help you get through this difficult time.

Dear Richard,Jimmy and families.
You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time of your loss.. May our God surround each of you with comfort and peace. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
What a wonderful childhood we had growing up in the Riverside Area. Mom just called your Mother about three weeks ago to wish her a Happy Hanukkah but she didn't speak long she sounded weak.
Grace, Peace, and Love,
