Ronna,
How taken aback I am at hearing this news yesterday, through my Mom. I am praying for you and your family.
I loved the time spent with you both, one summer, when I was young. You two owned the stained glass business where I hung out with y'all. It was so much fun learning how to make simple stained glass works, seeing all the beautiful artwork, colored glass and watching y'all do business through the day. This is only one of many memories I have with Orin.
I will miss him - his love for family, his laugh, and great big hugs. I will hold dear his memory.
Like Annette, my sister wrote, would you please be in touch before the New Orleans plans come to pass; I'd like to try to be there.
Sincerely,

The Levy/Lorias

Hello Ronna,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss.

We feel so helpless to be able to express our care being here in New Orleans, but my Dad is especially sad to hear the news.

They always had a fond relationship.

We noticed that you plan on coming to New Orleans at some point for a memorial internment.

We’d love to know when so we can see your family and express our sentiments in person.

Please let us know when these plans gel.

Thanks so much and again, our prayers are with you.

Much love,

David Levy and family
