Dear Rona,
You have my sincere sympathy and my wishes that you find comfort and peace with your family and friends. I was just informed that Gil had passed from Cynthia Binns.
Before I left Wooden Keys Gilbert and I enjoyed a good relationship. I remember seeing you and Gilbert at baseball games in Jenkintown or nearby, when Chris was playing.
May you find happiness in your memories with Gil, and in your present and future life.
Sincerely,
Barry Rosen
