Dear Family of Marva,
Marva and my mother, Bertie Sussman, were friends and they were part of a group that got together to play bridge.
I remember Marva coming to my mother's home and what a nice person she was and that my mother was fond of her. I'm glad that Marva had a long life.
My condolences to you, her family.
