My belated condolences to my cousin Sara Simon's entire family. I did not have the distinct pleasure to interact with Sara, her husband Jack, and their daughters Miriam and Carol, nearly as often as I would have desired. However, on those rare occasions that family gatherings brought us together, I was quite impressed by Sara and her family family. All wonderful cousins who I regret nit knowing much better. My deepest condolences to the entire family on the loss of Sara.

Dear Miriam and Carol,
I was so sorry to hear of your dear mother's passing.
We taught together for many years. I was so pleased to be able to celebrate her
90th birthday at the lovely party that you gave. I saw her again when I took her to lunch
just before she left for
California. She looked so
beautiful .
May she rest in peace.
My sincerest and deepest
condolences,

We were together for over 80 years. Why did you have to die in the winter? I'll miss my 81st birthday card.
