Honni/Barry,

I was so sorry to hear of Albert's passing. Although we rarely spoke or met, those times that we did were certainly special. I will miss Albert and, as his wife and partner in life, and Barry as his son, will miss his humor, advice and love. You can be sure that he will be looking over you.

I will remember him with love and affection.

Fondly,
Dotty Adler

I will miss you my friend, our conversations and some times coffee. I will miss your smile when I would come to visit, you were always happy to see me and always asked when I would return. Had you not known Honore and he were married you would think they were just good friends, oh what a joy to share the same space with them.
My Lord, I ask that you look over Albert as he enters you Kingdom and the house of David. I ask that as the family goes through this time of sorrow that you bring comfort to their hearts.

I will miss you my friend truley not just a friend but family
