Dear Potemken family,
Over the years I have heard Linda talk lovingly about her father. I am sorry I never met him but I know he was surrounded by love and caring. May his memory be for a blessing and may your memories and love for him for each other sustain you during this difficult period.

Love,
Adina Newberg

Dear Anita,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Bert's passing. Your devotion to him has been proven many times during the past several years and severely tested in recent weeks. You have been so brave and an excellent role model to us all as you have cared for your beloved husband, all the while carrying on as President of the Brandeis National Committee, Baltimore Chapter, with grace and humor. My heart goes out to you and your daughters at this time of your grievous loss. In sympathy and with much love,
