Ms. Malkin
My condolences to the family...... Mr. Wolf was a good friend and now that He is no longer with us He'll be missed. What can I say about Mr. Wolf? He was a good friend. I enjoyed Him telling me about cars and how great of a deal he got in everyone of them lol. Even when he would pull in the garage and tell me I scratched the car I knew he had a solution for it here comes the wax lol, or when he's car drove a little rough he would tell me to drop the tire pressure just so he can enjoy his drives, or when he would come in with groceries and never failed to bring Ms. Malkin a . All I can say is that nothing ever bothered him and will make the best of any situation! Mr. Wolf, I may have lost a Friend but The Lord has gained An Angel. Until We meet again,Your friend Jesus at 1418.

Dear Jodi,

What a great picture of your father, who I never had the pleasure of meeting. Now I see, in part, where you got your beautiful smile and smiling eyes!

You have no idea how much I value your friendship with my sis! I remember so many fun stories, from middle school at Latin on, of so many special occasions and trips she shared with you and your family and how you were always there...including you and your mother's important presence after Ann passed away.

Now and always... Sending you and your whole family much love and prayers!

Dear Marilyn,

My sincerest condolences on Larrys' passing away. The last time I saw you was at Irwin Imrens' zt"l shiva house so its been many many years but you and I know each other since we were 14 years old. That is a long, long time. May Larry rest in peace for now and forever.

Dear Marilyn and family,

Is there ever a time when someone we love passes away when we think their memories go with them ? A friend of mine gave me these words that have helped me when someone I love passed away.
"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day".
We will be thinking of you all on Tuesday. Larry was a great man with many good qualities we will miss him and the memories he created with us.


With Love,

Elaine, Claude, Harlene and Libby
