Dear Robert, I don't know if you will remember me but I am a first cousin of your mom's. My name is Irma Feldman Pasick and my mother, Pearl, was your grandmother Tillie's sister. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sending you and your family my deepest condolences. I will be unable to attend any memorial services you may have since I live in Las Vegas. Love to you all.
