My sincerest condolences to the entire Wollenberg family. Your mother was an amazing woman who I have such fond memories of from my childhood. I always LOVED it when it was her turn to drive us to school because she made the trips to Wandell fun by making us laugh and smile before we had to start our school day. I will always remember her smile. May she find eternal peace. Roberta Re' Kleinbard
