I'm sad for the family, but relieved for her. As you probably knew I won't be able to travel for the service. Thank you for making it available to stream.

This is Harriet Weinger. So sorry for your loss. I tried sending a video
But don’t know if it went through.
I’m also sorry we lost touch over the years but
I remember Edith fondly.
We spent lots of time together in Arizona and Illinois
I have pottery she made for me in Arizona where I am now.
I also have lots of recipes she gave me.
Irving and my Michael were business associates and friends.
They even skied together. Michael passed away in July of 2021. I hope they have found each other.
