Dear Lustig Family,
Our deepest sympathy at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Lustig family. The friendship your mother had with my mother will be cherished but missed greatly. I know that as your mothers' health has deteriorated these past few years, my mothers inability to enjoy her company as in the past left a void in her life. Our love to you all.
