Dear Dan and Family. Babe was a dear friend of Ruthies for many years. I know you will miss her as much as I miss Ruthie. It will be very hard to take for a long time, but as time passes your hurt will gradually diminish.
You have my heartfelt condolences.

Paul and Adriane,
Sorry to hear about your mom. She was a classic from my past, oh so long ago. My condolences to your dad.

Dear Mr. Ostroff(Danny) and Babe's children:
Babe was my mom's best friend. She loved her and she loved your dad (and so did my dad love both of them). She was a wonderful, kind, loving, and giving individual and a wonderful friend to all whom she came in contact with. She will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies to everyone. Having lost my mom just a year ago, I know the feeling of that kind of loss. May her memory be kept in your minds and your hearts.
Love, Mary Beth and Jeff Crum (Platt)
