Dear Avi and Tully, When I heard of your mother's death (from Ina Smith!) I was immediately transported to Maple Lake Camp where I first met your mom when she was chatting with mine. Two very bright, nice ladies. I loved seeing her legacy of so many children and grandchildren. My sincere condolences to you and your families. jan (janie olin) altschuller

Lee and I would like to add our condolences to the family--in memory of our sister-in-law, Claire. She, and her witty conversation, will long be remembered.
Harry and Claire were the first of our siblings to marry and gave us a taste of how a new (and eventually, old) couple established a beautiful family who are a credit to the Jewish heritage of our family.
May Hashem comfort you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
