Mrs Wasserstrom ,
I remember you many years ago being my math tutor and math teacher in the ICJA abd in your home. I am so sorry to hear about your dear husband Henry ah. Special couple that you both are. I remember your sons as small boys. I thought about you throughout all the years. I myself am a widow and know the pain very well. I love you so much. Teachers really leave a special feeling inside some students. What a devoted teacher that you are. . Henry is a special man very soft spoken and kind.
May Hashem comfort all of your family and you among all thd other mourners of Isreal.
May your children and grand children continue to bring comfort in your life.
I would love to be in contact if you like .
