Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and the Elkins/Hirschfeld/Seligyside if the family sends our condolences.

It was a pleasure to have known you. May you Rest In Peace with many blessings for comfort to your family.

Seeing Vivian at the pool, playing mahjong and just enjoying her company and that of her family was always a highlight of our annual snowbird trip to Florida. I still hear Robert’s question “where’s your boy?” if Josh was not around.

She loved her family with all her might and cared deeply for her friends with equal measure. She had so many gifts and talents and was a spectacular cook. Some of my best recipes...
