Dear family, we both send our condolences and deepest sympathy to you all. My Aunt Jean made the very best Peleni (which she shared the recipe and notes with me) and was a cookie making machine! She will always be remembered with love in our hearts.
Keeping you in our prayers,
Cousin Jan (Robbie) and Don
