Dear Roz, The only word that comes to mind when I think of you is "Angel"
We shared many wonderful times as neighbors and friends. These are memories I will always cherish and hold dear. Until we meet again you will always be in my heart and I will always have your smile with me. May you always be surrounded by Angels because you surround us.
With all my love. Sandy Benezra
