Dear Uncle Jack and Fryda: Jeffrey and I were very sad to hear of Aunt Margaret's passing. We're glad that we were able to spend a little time with her this past summer. I remember her kindness and generosity. I also fondly remember the time she sat on the floor with me showing me photos of her mother Louise, who I was named after. I always respected Aunt Margaret's strength and courage in surviving the Holocaust and going on to create a family in Canada despite the horrors she had endured. May you be comforted by her memory.

My dear Auntie Margit has passed away. As a child I thought she was the most beautiful and elegant woman in the entire world. As an adult I knew it to be true. Her Hungarian accented English was always music in my ears. She was always very warm to me, and I loved her. I will miss her.
