Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother, Ruth. Although it has been many years since I saw your parents Ruth and George, they sent notes to me after my parents, Cass and Belle Goldberg passed away. I spoke with your mother on one or two occasions following my parents' deaths and I remember her as a lovely lady. I don't know much about the family history but I believe my mother (Belle Miller) was a second cousin. My parents lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago. Again, my sincerest sympathy on her passing.
