Walked by her house last week. Brought back many wonderful memories of her and Rose. She was always great to my family. I will never forget her.

To Isabelle's family,
We are Isabelle's neighbors from Maplewood Ave. and just heard the news of her passing. Isabelle was one of the first people to reach out to us when we moved here in 1999. She radiated warmth and kindness. We are sorry for your loss and sad at her passing. A truly special person.

To the Gordon and Snyder Family:

We will always remember Isabelle for her kindness and warmth. Her beauty shown through every day toward everybody. There was never a lovelier person and a kinder friend. Our children loved stopping at her house for cookies on their way home from school. We will never forget her.
