Dear Renee and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your Mom´s passing. She and my Mom (Tillie Moreck) were cousins. Rita visited my Mom when my Mom was in Assisted Living and would bring her fresh fruit which was a highlight of my Mom´s day. They always remained close. Your Mom was one of the kindest, sweetest most generous people I have ever known. She was my sponsor for Confirmation. She was a joy to be around. Please know you are in my prayers.
