Ruthie,
I was so saddened to learn of the passing of your Dad. Doris and Alex were long time friends of mine. In fact, I was a bridesmaid in their wedding. We exchanged greeting cards through the years and also many phone calls. I would try to visit them every time that I was in Rochester. You and your lovely family and Alex's family are in my prayers. Sincere condolences.

Ruth,
I'am a friend of your mother and father from high school days in Rochester. Your mother and I have exchanged Christmas cards for over 50 years and kept in touch. I feared that she had passed when my card was returned this past December. I'm sorry to learn of the passing of your father. My sister in Florida keeps up with Rochester friends and sent me the notice. We shared many wonderful times together in Triangle Girls and as young couples starting out on the journey of life. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
