Dearest Ira, Life will definitely be alot emptier without the wonderful woman you married. She bought joy, laughter, tears at times but was always more interested in the other person. She was the sister I never had and we shared some very special moments together. I will never forget her and she will be a deep influence on everyone she touched. Love, Barbara S.
