Pollock Children-I was sorry to hear of the death of your mother, Joyce. I considered her-as well as your father-Mel-to be good friends, and will miss them. Herman Wexler

My dear Jay, Gregg and Robin please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of your precious mother. She was the most dynamic and capable person. No one loved her family more. I cherish memories of my times together with both Joyce and Mel. Our family is diminished by this loss.
