Herb, Harold and I just returned from a 2 1/2 week trip and I read the obit this AM. We send our love to you and your family. Elaine's passing is so very sad. Yesterday must have been especially sad. We will be in touch with you soon.

Dear Dr. Tanenbaum and Family, I am a friend of Steve's, and would like to express my condolences to you and your family for your loss. I have heard many wonderful things about Mrs. Tanenbaum from not only Steve, but many of Steve's friends, and I am sure she will be greatly missed. Please take care of one another during this painful time, and allow the comfort of others to assist you through your grief. Sincerely, Susan Gosnell

A friend in D.C.asked me if I'm related to Elaine. The answer is Yes. Most of you don't know me, but I am Ben and Hilda Bresler's son Michael. Ben was Elaine's grandfather Morris's youngest brother (by about 35 years!). I haven't seen Elaine or the rest of the Bresler family since our grand reunion in 1989, and didn't know Elaine very well. But I remember from when I was a child how sweet she always was. My sympathy to all of you for your loss.
Michael Bresler, M.D.
