Dear Michael,
Harry and I are so sorry to read about the loss of your Mother.
Lucille was a beautiful lady, inside and out.
How fortunate you were to have your Mother until 95 years old.
We are certain you were an outstanding son until her passing.
Shalom—Shalom,

Dear Michael,
I really enjoyed the phone calls I shared with your mother over the past few years. We always talked about the family. I did try to call last week but she did not know who I was. My deepest sympathy. May her memory be for a blessing.

It has been several years since I was able to enjoy weekly visits with Lucille (the visitor) and Irving (the resident) at the former Jewish Home in New Haven. They were my first and last stop each week, as much for my enrichment as for theirs. What lovely and philanthropic people! Although I later volunteered at The Towers, I did not know that she lived there, or I would surely have stopped by her space too. Please accept my condolences and know that their influence extended way beyond your family.

Dear Michael, David and Family,
So sorry to read about the passing of your dear Mother, Lucille. She was such a nice lady. When cousin Irving was in the Jewish Home, so as my Dad, and the four of us would sit in the sun, in the courtyard, and catch up on our families. I’d often see your Mom in Stop&Shop in Hamden and we’d always chat about family. She was always very honest with her words and I really admired that about Lucille among many other things. She will be missed.
May wonderful memories of Your Mom always comfort you.
Cousin Linda
