My condolences to the Schwartz family. "If I should die, remember me with smiles and laughter as that is how I will remember you. But if remember me with tears and sadness then don't remember me at all.

Dear Family, Our heartfelt condolences. We remember lots of fun times when you lived in the same neighbourhood as the Erman family. We still revisit our past with thoughts of our friends and Riva (& Murray) was a very special part of those times. We'll not forget either...they live on in each of us who knew them. Take care.
