Mickey was a friend. I have fond memories of our get togethers and conversations at Thanksgiving times in Indiana. I will think of her often.

Thanksgiving and Pesach always meant happy times spent with Bubbie and Zeide. Both were such special people and both are sadly missed.
Our thoughts and love go out to Charles, Pat, and family.
