To the entire Gershone family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ethel. I have a plethora of fond memories of her, from my youth, while spending many hours playing in the Gershone's basement. She was a cool mom! My sincere sympathy to all she loved. My thoughts are with you.

My condolences to the entire Gershone Family...I'm sad to hear of Ethel's passing. My college years would not be quite so memorable had I not known the Gershones. I was Jeff's roommate at AEPi, hung out with Roberta a few weeks ago in Las Vegas and have continued my close friendship with Ernie since freshman year. Today the Feldman / Gershone connection continues for the next generation as my kids and Fern and Ernie's are friends too. Although I'd not seen Ethel for many years, I often recall Ernie's tale of her encounter a few years ago with famous author, Max Shulman. He was appearing at Dayton's, promoting a book. Ethel had gone to school with him and happened to be shopping that day. Max caught her out of the corner of his eye, stopped his presentation, yelled out "Ethel" and took the time to catch up with her. I'm sure she really got a kick out of that. Just know that Lisa, Melissa, Rebecca and my thoughts are with the Gershone family.
