To Shirley's much loved family (and she so loved you all), I especially remember what a meaningful part she played in what I consider the best part of my life, life on 62nd Street when you were all still little rug rats. I have so many happy memories of her. Celebrate her, she was a delight.

To Ed and Al;

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I just lost my father 2 weeks ago. To be honest, it is tough. My parents were married over 56 years. But when we talk about him, we laugh about all the fun times we had together. My prayers are with you and your family.
