Your Mom was quite special and left quite a wonderful legacy. It is very hard to lose a parent and my thoughts are with you. She had much to be proud of in you and our accomplishments.

I too have met Dorothy on the movie set. We had a fun conversation and she has always been in my heart from that time on. She did a great job bringing up both sons. My condolences to Leon and Allen. I missed seeing your mom at the last shoot when she was ill. I have been fortunate to have met her and you guys again too. All my best

Sincere condolences to the Trefler family, our heart goes out to you. We had the fortune to meet Mrs. Trefler last December when our son Jason was filming two industrials for PegaSystems. Through these films Jason will always have a special connection to Mrs. Trefler and we are deeply sorry for your loss.

Alan and Leon, I'll never forget the day I first saw Mother Trefler. I was attending SKO in Boston this year when Pega showed a Mother Trefler Pega home videos. I couldn't stop laughing and I didn't believe it was really your mother and not an actress. It took a lot of convincing before I was a believer. She was such great fun on the screen and someone I would have loved to meet in person to hear all the great stories about you both growing up. I'll keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers.

Alan and Leon,
My heart-felt condolences. Funny how I feel so connected with your mom simply from watching her videos. Never had the pleasure of meeting her. God bless. Thank you for inviting all of us to share in your personal lifes. I have never laughed harder than while watching those mom trefler videos. It brings a smile to my face now as I remember. Now being behind the trefler family firewall, I feel your pain and loss. What a wonderful legacy she left behind. What a special lady. Again my condolences "boys".
