I would like to extend my sincere sympathies on the loss of your mother. I'm a 56 year old woman who has wonderful memories of both your mom and dad. Doc was my pediatrician throughout the 40s and 50s, and was later the pediatrician of my first two daughters in the 60s and 70s. Mrs. Bronstein often answered the phone when we called and we were so comfortable discussing situations with her. Your mom and dad attended my wedding in 1967, and gave me a beautiful lace hanky which I carried as "something new." It was then passed down to my daughters. And I'll bet you have no recollection of this, but Susan came along with Doc on a couple of house calls. (Yes, your dad made HOUSE CALLS!) I have distinct memories of playing with you while Doc checked out my brother who was running a high fever. Your parents were wonderful people and although our paths haven't crossed in years, I remember them with great fondness. May you have a lifetime of happy memories of them both.
