Bruce: My sympathy,thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. You may recall our nice phone conversation last summer when I visited Rochester again after 48 years away. If you've forgotten, I was your babysitter during the late 50's and your parent's neighbor; your father gave me my first job and headed me into the Medical career I cherished. I'll forever by grateful for the hour long conversation I had with your Mom then too. I was hoping we could finally meet in person again after all these years, but it wasn't meant to be. I'll treasure the memory I have of her lively voice and the knowledge that she remained so active and vibrant until the last. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful Mother...and I know she's happy now too, once again in the arms of God and Herbert, the love of her life. They both shaped my own life in wondrous ways and I'll remember them always with love and respect.
