You are the example of philanthropy at its best! I'm trying to follow you.
My love,

What a woman you were, Countess! You will be missed. A few weeks ago you told me how much you missed your neighbor and our mutual friend Ruth Wantshouse Who had pre-deceased you by a few months. Boca Raton will be forever grateful for all the many projects you have completed. My grandson played baseball on your many lighted fields. The granddaughters enjoyed father/daughter teas at the train station. I personally will miss our conversations on Sundays at The Grille.
