Dear Ron, Debbie and Family,
My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your mother, Ron. May all the wonderful memories you have of your Mom bring you comfort at this most difficult time. She was the rainbow at the end of your ride at the Cape Cod Getaway!!!
My deepest sympathy,

Dear Larry, Ronnie and Gerry:
The worked with your mother at Marvin
Richmond's office when I was 16 years old. I learned so much from her not only
her bookkeeping skills but about life in
general. She was a dear, dear friend to
me. She attended our wedding almost 46
years ago...so you can see how long we
go back. She adored your Dad and you
boys and I even attended Gerry's Bar- Mitzvah. Your parents were wonderful people and may all those wonderful mem-
ories sustain you all.
Fondly, Sandra Bjorklund
