Dear Abby and Heidi,
Although a year and a half has gone by since your mom passed away, I still feel obligated to send my condolences. Heidi - I did send a card to you and your sister to So. Fallsburg but it was returned. I remember your dear mom and her beautiful smile and voice. I remember when she entertained in the Mountaindale Firehouse in 1959 or 1960 for Hadassah. She was a torch song singer who really 'sold' the song - especially if it was in Yiddish. She and my mom, Bernice, from Mountaindale, were good friends. My mom's voice was on the same caliber as your mom's - their ability to transcend the everyday word into memories held so dear was a feat unparalled by few.
May warm and nurturing memories help sustain you now and always.
Love,
Richard
