Dear Ryla, David, Clifford My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. My memories go way, way back to rides to elementary school in her bright yellow VW Beetle. For me, she will be remembered as a thoroughly modern mom. Ahead of her time. May her memory forever be a blessing.

Ryla, David , Cliff. So very sorry to learn of Merle's passing. For as long as I can remember, my parents counted Merle and Norm amongst their closest friends. Galela and I bumped into both of them often at family simchas, and Merle always had kind words and the occasional story to tell of past adventures. May your memories of her warm your hearts.

I am so sorry to hear of Merle’s passing. The loss of our mothers is such a deeply sad time for all of us. Merle knew me my whole life, and I will always remember the many lovely family times we shared together. Warmly, Elise May you find comfort in knowing that she’s laughing with her friends again — and that Janet, Joy, and Joanie are already setting up the mahj table and catching up like no time has passed at all. Wishing you strength and comfort in the days ahead.
