Ed and family-
We were both moved by the touching and loving service you held for Micki.
She had a wonderful family and wonderful friends–everyone’s goal is good health but family and friends are really what makes a complete and full life–she certainly lived that way…
We will all miss her–the rabbi’s opening remarks on the three parts of the soul were a new idea for me–a piece of Micki’s soul will forever be in me and all those who loved and knew her.
Take care–be well–our thoughts are with you all.
Best,
Lou and Cindy
