Dear Marilyn and Ted;

All these many years since Elkins Park I've had many thoughts of your mother and father being so kind to me while I was there. I'm sorry for your loss. She leaves the best memories one can leave.

Dear Marilyn and Teddy,
Our heartfelt condolences to you and your families on the loss of your mom, a wonderful woman who gave so much of herself to help others. As you know, we lost Howard as well this week, a truly devastating loss to our family. Please know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers.
With love and sympathy,
Beth and Neal

I was so sorry to learn about your Mom's death. She was a gracious, charming, and elegant lady who was a pleasure to serve with on the JVS Board. I have a great deal of respect for her and all she has accomplished. I know it was a great loss to you and our community. I regret I was unable to express my heartfelt sympathy in person. Although I couldn't be with you, my thoughts were and are with you and your family.
