I was just randomly searching names of people I remember from my early years growing up in Glencoe, Illinois. I first looked up Myla and then her mom. I was sad to see she had passed, but given my age and Myla's age now, I wasn't surprised. Mrs. Frohman was the epitome of a a caring, loving. interested Jewish mother. I always felt welcomed when I was at her home. She just made me comfortable and felt warm to be around. I know Myla had these traits.... and I'm sure Mrs. Frohman had a great deal to do with those wonderful qualities being passed down!

Dear Myla, Clayton & Doug-

You do not know me. I was an employee of your Mom & Dad.

Actually, your Mom, a gal named Theresa & I really all worked together for your Dad. The 3 of us gals had a great time together, from lunch time to after work we were always getting into something together. She was one great and funny lady. She was loved by all!

I wish we could have had another gals night out for dinner on last time. I truly loved your Mom & Dad very much, as an employee, and friend.

Your mother was a friend of my late mother in law, Audrey Markoff. I remember your mom as a gracious, warm and caring person. My condolences to you and your entire family on your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

One of my favorite quotes goes something like

"You grieve most for that which was your greatest gift."

If I can remember this, then I will hopefully remember the Joy that you brought me instead of the grief I have now. I am smiling through my tears with your memeory.



You were a joy to represent and know.



One of your admirers from Stewart Talent.

Dear Myla, Doug, and Clay,



I wish I could be with you tonight. I left a message with Clay that I just found out about your mom, and will not be able to sit shiva.



I will call you, Myla, in the next few days. As I mentioned to Clay, no one could tell a story like Vola. She had so many wonderful traits that I know will live on through all three of you. She was so warm and welcoming to me, and of course, to Clay R. And I will never forget her delectable chocolate chip cookies and laughing with her over some Juanita story. Clay R.will be calling you soon too. He is out of town on business, but called for your number.



Please know that I am thinking of all of you. Vola was a very special woman. I am sorry I can't be there tonight...here is a big hug for all three of you. I will certainly make a donation in her memory.



All of my love,

Susan

Vola,

You were such a touchstone for me during my growing up. I was so glad to be able to reconnect later. Your friendship was a blessing, and I am better for knowing you. To Clay, Douglas, Myla and Jim, please accept my sympathies for the loss of such a wonderful, caring, compassionate and funny human being, mother. friend and partner. I know that the feeling of loss that I feel can't even come close to yours. I am so sorry for your loss.

Love, K
