Dear Muriel,

We were so saddened to learn of Seymour's passing. I tried to reach you on the number I had for many years, but no answer.

We hope you will know that our thoughts and love are with you and know that your family and friends will sustain you during this sad time.

Dear Mrs. Epstein and Family,

Hope that reflecting on good memories can ease the pain of your loss.

I’ve always felt fortunate to have Mr.Epstein as a client. He was truly inspiring role model, a gentleman, always respectful and caring, favorite client. My husband and children referred to him as an extended family member. I’ll miss his phone calls, his wisdom, his insight and advice, but my fond memories of him and his positive impact on my life will last forever.

My sincere condolences,

Uncle Seymour,
You were such a huge part of our lives for ever and ever.
In everyone's life there are a few men who so greatly influence and help shape your life. In mine it was my beloved father, Uncle Genie & you.
Your love for me and my family was unselfish and truly felt all the way down to my own children. Remembering all the wonderful times is helping ease the pain we all feel today. You will be missed and always loved.


Love,

Roger
