To my friends Jerry (and Gail) and
Mitch (Ruth) my thoughts are with you on the passing of your mother Dorothy who together with her husband Mort was a presence in our synagogue Beth-el of Highland Park.

Aunt Dorothy welcomed all the Sokols into the Taxy family when Gail married Jerry. She was especially kind after my father's death and included us in all her family celebrations. I especially remember her cookies and brownies and that she loved the color blue. Her house was always neat as a pin, and I used to enjoy watching her and Uncle Mort wash and dry dishes together; it was sort of their peaceful time together after they had company. Love you all, Ronnie
