Dear Sam and Patti,
I doubt if you remember me but around 57 or so years ago I lived on Floyd Street behind your parent's big house.
Your mom would make us Big Red floats and I had never tasted anything so good in my life. Sam let me teach myself to ride on his bike.
Memories are so special. Your mom was a very special lady.

Dear Sam,Patti,Grandchildren & Great grandchildren. We have just found out today the loss of Aunt Minnie. I am Alan Stoler's wife Diana. I remember Aunt Minnie very fondly from the many visits to her at her condo. Alan enjoyed going over yesterdays with her regarding Mama and Papa Shersky. I liked Minnie because she had a dry sense of humor and was very resilient. I guess it was that beautiful Russian heritage of hers. Alan Stoler's household lights a candle and we'll say kaddish with love and respect. She will be missed but for now we say L'Chaim from Mrs. Alan (Diana) Stoler,Debbie, Max,& Stacey
