To Benji and Marcia,
So sorry to hear about Hannah. She was a big part of my growing up years and I will never forget her, from our great talks at your house on Phillips, to going out to eat and having just good old plain fun.I hold her memory close to my heart and know your pain.

Love,Sandy

Benji and Marcia, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have such fond memories of her from my childhood. We have a wonderful old home movie on which your mother, Hannah, is dancing down the hallway in the Berkson's apartment. That's how I will remember her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
