Dear Susan, Marty, Howie and families,

Susan, I listened to your wonderful interview of your mom. What a treasure for all of you to have forever. So comforting. I had a smile on my face for the entire interview.

I wanted to share my most vivid memory of your mom. As you know, our parents lived very close to each other in Villas North. My mom died at home. Your mom came over almost immediately and I will never forget the long, warm, comforting hug she gave me when I needed it most, right after I lost my mom.

Sharing that hug with all of you.

The service was beautiful. May her memory always be a blessing.

My thoughts are with you.
