Mrs. Temkin & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Temkin was a kind and funny man. I am happy I got to meet him and was extra happy when I found out his wife was my elementary school teacher whom he thought the world of. Mr. Temkin is at peace now and isn't that a blessing.
Sincerely,
Polly and Skip
