My deepest regrets to the family in their loss of a wonderful and beautiful lady. We used to chuckle at her having been known as "that nice Jewish lady" by my boss VP at DG and we never told him it wasn't true. Likewise, she'd chuckle at lunch when she would "pop a nitroglycerin pill" and I'd say, "you're scaring me, Laura!" and she would laugh and tell me not to worry. We would talk several times a year (for the past 20 years) at every Christmas time and go over family events, but regretably never got around to physically see one another. She left a mark on my soul and will be truly missed.

Joanna,
Please accept my sincerest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. She was a wonderful woman and I enjoyed working with her and our lunches at DG. Have often thought of both of you through the years. Again, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.
