Dear Bill and Family,

Dear Bill, Fran and Ken,
I just returned from wintering in Florida and was given a copy of the beautiful article this morning that appeared in the Tribune a few days ago, telling of Marilyn's death. Our association goes back some 46 or so years when you moved into Concord Lane, and continued when Annette, z"l, was a teacher of Fran's children at NSS Beth El Pre-School, and a few years ago we were on the same Mission to Israel. I also was present at a concert by Marilyn, Fran and Fran's daughter some years ago as part of a North Shore Series. My deepest and sincere sympathy to you and may your wonderful memories carry you through this trying period.
May God comfort you among the mourners in Zion and Jerusalem.
