Sorry for your loss. Thinking of all the Xmas gift exchanges in Highland Park. It was a great time of sharing. Wishing you as much warmth as you can get this holiday season.

Remembering the first time I met Leon and the Bernstein family... Christmas 2011 at Ron and Suzanne´s. A stranger, I was welcomed warmly and included instantly by all. May his memory be a blessing. Sending much love, Valerie Dirsmith (and Graham, Margot, Harper, & Hunter)
