She was the embodiment of natural beauty, She radiated sweetness and warmth! She and Lloyd were examples of the perfect couple to me, so loving and respectful toward eachother, a home filled with kids and pets and love. She truly made me and my brother always feel welcome. I often didn’t want to leave. Our home life was in stark contrast so it truly was a refuge of peacefulness and acceptance. Years have passed since those early years and I’m so glad I got the chance to see her and visit with her as an adult. It’s unfortunate that Covid is happening as I would’ve loved to see the entire family some of whom were just little kids the last time I saw them. May her sweetness and all she ever stood for live on in all of you. One very special loved lady just made heaven more amazing! Rest In Peace eternally Snow White.

Harriet & I were very sorry to hear of Shari passing. We always felt very close to Shari & Lloyd, and consider them good friends. Though separated by a long distance we thought of them often, and always got together when visiting Chicago. Our sincere condolences to Lloyd and to all the Stein kids and grandkids.
