Lester, Elyse, and Melissa,
I know it is a cliche, but it IS true and helps us to get through the difficult times: "Memories are forever..." You were all so lucky to have had her in your lives for as long as you did. I know she was a feisty one, but that is what held your love and devotion.
Love to all of you....xoxoxoxo

Dear Lester, My tears have kept flowing since I learned the sad news. Your mom was such a presence in this world to all who knew and loved her. And even when she drove you nuts, you spoke of her tenderly and with humor, which was so endearing. As I told you, she was one of a kind; feisty and witty and so very proud of you. We send you tight hugs and love, to be shared at our next meeting. xoJeri&Chick

Condolences to you all. Rachel always called Minnie the Banana Lady. When Rachel was young at OCB, every visit to her cottage Rachel was offered a banana, which she loved and ate. You couldn't leave her cottage hungry!

I will forever remember the sassy woman that Minnie was when I met her for the first time over Thanksgiving dinner a couple of years ago. It was also an enjoyment and pleasure to be able to teach her, at the young age of 91, how to use chopsticks at a fun dinner at a Japanese steakhouse last year. She will be missed.

Each time I saw Mrs. Adelstein when I came to Hartford and attended services with my father, Rabbi Lindenthal z"l, she would proudly and with emphasis, remind me that she was the daughter of Morris Shusterman whom we knew so well.
Sincere wishes to the whole family to enjoy those great memories you had with her.
