Joanne: I knew Seymour from the time we were very young and have such fond memories of a fun and wonderful, kind human being as all of the Hirshfield family is. Joanne, do you remember our time as cub scout leaders? That was a sketch! I hope memories of wonderful times shared and the support of your wonderful family can bring some comfort to you during these difficult days.
Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.
