To My Family,

I am so sorry I am not there with you today, but I am very happy Dad and I were able to be there three weeks ago to share some time with Aunt Lisa before she passed. She was a wonderful, strong woman and I have lots of good memories about the summers I spent with the Jacobs family, especially the smell of coffee in the morning and roast beef being prepared for the deli at night and everything in between. With Love, Hannah
