I was very sorry to learn of the loss of your dear Mother. I knew Clara from the days in Roseland as we were a small community at Shomre Hadas. I had great respect and felt your Mother was a friendly, sweet lady and for a number of years did see her when I went to Florida. Please accept my sincere condolences.
