Dear Bruce, Lisa and my Dearest, Dearest Craig,

I'm so sorry at the passing of Lee. I remember her as a strong and passionate lady and so proud (as well she should be) of her family. The fact that she helped bring one of the most beautiful people I've ever known into my life is something for which I'll always be grateful. She's touched so many lives in so many ways so in that way will live on forever.

Thank you, Lee.

With my mother in the Jewish Home I've met with and talk to Elisa -- after hearing of her mother's passing I waited for her to come in to say hello to everyone again -- I heard of her passing today -- she was beautiful both in and out -- I will miss her smiling face--Nancy London

Dear Bruce, Craig, Lisa and family,

During the few years that Elisa was part of my daily life at the home, she was a peaceful pleasure to experience. Elisa always came with a smile and kind words. Always so calm. She had such a deep dedication for the care of her Mom...Always there. To have had Elisa in your life in any manner was nothing short of a blessing. I will miss her very much and she will be forever be in my thoughts. She is in God's hands where He has healed her afflictions. My prayers are with all of your family...God blss you all.

Mr. Sampson, Craig, and Family,

My mom and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Mrs. Sampson. She was so good to me both in my time working at VideoTek and helping me move to NYC. What a beautiful spirit she was. Your mom is in our thoughts. Take comfort knowing how many lives she touched.

Bruce, Craig, Lisa and family -

I am so sorry, I loved her like a second Mom. She was there for all of the special moments in my life and that is something that I will always carry with me. She was always ready with a listening ear. Words can not express the sadness and sense of loss I am feeling now. Take care of yourselves and each other.
