Dear Claudia & Danielle
I was so very sad to hear the news of your lovely mother Sahra.

I was lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with her in New York & London when I visited with my mother Victoria. She always welcomed me into her home with open arms and kindness and offered a source of advice and wisdom.

With warm wishes and love to you all .
