I just wanted to offer my deepest condolences to the entire Cohen family for the parting of such a beloved man, Uncle Seymour. I would have liked to have gone to the funeral to pay my respects in person, but I was immobile & in a lot of pain, as I had just broken my foot and am currently still in a walking boot. I had a ton of respect and admiration for Uncle Seymour --- he was truly a great man, touched the lives of many, & will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of loss.

Cohen Family;
Throughout my entire life Seymour has been an important person to me. I tried to call him daily since Bernice died and always felt he was so close to me. Most of the time when we spoke he asked me one question; TELL ME SOME GOOD NEWS. He was my connection to the family with the past and present happenings. He loved his children and grandchildren and cared about me. He never said anything bad about anyone. He never gave up with his health and always tried to make it a good day. I will have many wonderful memories. Your loss of him will never compare to mine. Thank God he is with Bernice now and no longer in pain or falling anymore, likewise dealing with his balance issues. I miss him already. Yes, I was one of the few that could talk to him over the phone even though it was hard for him. We had a great connection. I miss him already.
Shalom
