With a heavy heart and deep sadness I learned of the death of my forever friend, Dot.
The wedding week-end of Rachel and Ben was not only a memorable simcha, but the final get-together with my beloved friend of close to 70 years. We were never far apart, the frequent letters and occasional visits in our teen-age years, attending each other's simchas through the decades, and always just a phone call away.
Jack joins me in wishing you all a long life and good health. I know how dear you all were to Dot.
With deep affection and sorrow beyond measure, R.I.P. my dear friend.
Love you all.

Dear loved ones: For reasons u know, we cannot physically be with u today but we r with u in spirit today and always. In some ways it is hard to believe that your mother/grandmother is gone. She was a very strong woman who with your father raised two wonderful women. We hope as you grieve you also celebrate her long, rich life. We love you
