To the dear family of Flora,
Flora and I went to kindergarten together and continued to be part of our special crowd at Rogers and Sullivan and so on. I am now living in Arizona and will not be able to be with you to mourn her death and celebrate her life. She was, as you know, a beautiful, bright and wonderful person. My condolences to all of you: her children, grandchildren and to you Beulah, my most profound loving thoughts to help you through this time.
All my love, Nancy Lazar Rothberg
