Dear Bruce, Jonathan, and Laurence, and Elaine,
My name is Lynne Lieblein. Your mom called me Honey. I am a cousin on your mother´s side of the family and we have been emailing each other for the past few years. I found her on a Camp Trebor website where we both went to camp though not at the same time. I was crazy about your mom and Ida Mae as well. I actually spent three weeks with you boys on the Cape when I was 19 helping her with all of you (now 81). I knew something was wrong when she did not respond to my last few emails. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. We both enjoyed reconnecting these past years and sharing our lives. Please tell Elaine I send my love to her.
May her memory always be a blessing.

Thank you Mrs. Ramon for saving my life and contributing to the strong adult, mother and wife I am today. I was blessed enough to be a client of Mrs. Ramon´s in 1979 for several years. Without her love, patience and guidance, I am not sure where I be today. My condolences to her family, she will always live in our hearts.
