So very sorry to learn of the death of Claire's mother Henriette Frankel. It has been a long time since I corresponded with either of you, Claire and Messod. If you care to call me I am at 416-484-8710. Gilda has been in a nursing home for just over a year because of onset of Alzheimer and not being able to walk (related to her Hydrocephalus which became complicated, even though she had a shunt placed in 2007). Apart from that she is thank G-d relatively well - no COVID. She does remember you both, as her middle and long term memories are pretty intact. We convey to you our heartfelt condolences. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and may her long and wonderful life be a blessing for you and your children. Be well and stay safe, Bernard and Gilda.
