Dear Vic,
We returned late today from our trip to Michigan. Alas I was unable to attend Dad's service. I am certain it was a beautiful and moving as Mom's was. You, Mom and Dad are in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Vic,
Please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of your father. We had planned on coming to the service but because of the cold and rain we felt it best for her not to attend.
Both your parents were such warm and kind people. My mother will never forget how they invited her to join the Friday "Lunch Bunch" when she moved into Spring Creek Apts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Dear Vic and family,
Alice and I want to convey our heartfelt sympathy to you, Vic and your family on the passing of your father and the family's loved one, Frederic Abeloff.
Your Father and late Mother, May, were our fine neighbors. I visited them at their apartment quite often and enjoyed always our time together. Alice would various times bake something and then after calling them to see if they would like to try some of what Alice baked, they usually welcomed that. Alice or I would then take some of what Alice backed over to their apartment for them. Fred would always call us to tell us how grateful they both were for the baked coffee cake or whatever she had prepared and how much they enjoyed it.
Fred and May were a precious couple and so courteous, kind, and never complained even when one or perhaps both were not feeling very well. Fred was a gentle man and he was an inspiration to us and other neighbors also. We would see Fred carefully assist May into their car when they would need to go somewhere. When the weather was nice he would take her for a walk. He demon-strated his love for May and did so in a very gentle,kind and compassionate way. He was so very faithful in his care for May.
Alice and I could share more. Let us conclude by saying we thought very highly of both Fred and May Abeloff. They were a joy to be with and we will be grieving with you, Vic and family. We have missed them and want you to know you are all in our prayers. Our prayers will be for God to bring comfort to you each and every one at this difficult time and in the days as well as weeks ahead.
Sincerely,
Susan Kirk

To the family of Mr. Abeloff: I was a keypunch operator at Sure-Fit in the early 1970's. Mr. Abeloff was our Supervisor. I have not forgotten him. He was an excellent supervisor--firm but always fair. He took the time to offer personal condolences and check on me often when my father died suddenly at a young age. My sympathy to the family of a man well liked and highly respected.
