Dear Anne, Clodile and Stephen,
A parent is always too young to lose and I was saddened to learn of the loss of your very special Mother. Please accept my sincerest sympathy at this most terrible time of your lives. My memories of Odile are on two levels. First when you were children and Anne and Denise spent so much time together. When Denise spoke of so many good times in your house I thought your mom had to be the coolest ever - although the wine with dinner did surprise me just a bit. Years later when she called on me to be her Realtor to sell her house, we renewed these and other memories of your childhood and developed a different and very pleasant camaraderie. Odile was one of the most beautiful, artistic and unique women I knew. She will be sorely missed by everyone whose life she touched and I'm glad I was one of them. And, in this small world, our families continued to be connected when - fast forward to the sale of your Levittown home - to, none other than my sister. I'll never forget the day I rang your bell. An amazingly beautiful young woman opened the door and, as we immediately recognized each other after so many years, long ago memories came to mind. Today I know that each of you has very special memories that will keep your Mom alive in your hearts forever. Sandi Gerson

Anne, Stephen and Clodile,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I have so many wonderful memories of her and the years I spent hanging out at your house through high school, especially this time of year when we kids would decorate your Christmas tree in your basement. I remember steak and french fries made from scratch for dinner, with wine(!) and salad AFTER the meal. I was amazed at how she handled those three monster German Shepherds. She was always so beautiful and I really adored her. May you find peace in your memories. My sincere condolences to all of you and your families. Denise Gerson Neider
