Dear Nancy, Todd, and Mrs. Greenberger - I just wanted not only to convey my sympathy to each of you, but also to share a few happy memories from what seems like both an eon ago and last week: coming to your house on Murdoch Road to visit you, Nancy, and eating lunch at your "kiddie"-sized table and chairs set (circa 2nd grade); your Old English Sheepdog, Muffin (nice haircut!); the little ice-skating rink that your dad set up in your back yard; the great catch of a line drive he made at shortstop in an S.E.A. father-son softball game in Highland Park. I trust that your many happy memories will help to lift your spirits and ease your pain at this difficult time. Take care.
