Dear Shelley, Rachel and Family,
I just heard today about our loss... and i am filled with grief and sadness. I met Cissy perhaps six years ago at the Trainers Club..where we worked out at the same time multiple days per week. We came to know and adore eachother; and she was like a mother to me.. as she was to so many... She wanted to know EVERYTHING... all the time... With one look; she would know exactly where I was at and how i was feeling. So loving, so caring, so giving.. of herself, always... even when she had so much on her own plate to deal with.
She had a tremendous impact on my life.. and was one of the most special ,wonderful women I have ever known. I loved Cissy so... and I will miss her terribly. I consider myself so fortunate to have known her as i did.
My thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Rachel and Family,
I am so sorry that I could not make your mother's funeral...I found out just yesterday. Please accept my condolences and deepest sympathy. I loved "Sissy" and she was always full of life and love whenever I saw her. Our families go way back to St.Louis street in Skokie, and I will always remember her as one of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met.
Our deepest thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.
