Dear Lou and Erica,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother´s death. She and your father were dear friends of ours.
I will always remember the many times we
went to theater, the temple, political meetings, our chaverah, and just socializing. Singing in the car to Goodnight Irene and other folk songs together was so much fun because it seemed so incongruous because I thought your parents were so conservative! I was really wrong. One of her proudest moments was joining the women´s rights march with Erica and her granddaughter .
Your mom was so creative and truly brilliant. Mary always added something valuable and insightful to our chaverah meetings. I loved her artistic side and I regret that she wasn´t my guidance counselor because she would have been truly caring about my career choices.
I will tell our mutual friends from the Democratic club and the temple and chaverah. Please send my condolences to your family for me.
With much love,
Idalea
