I remember meeting your mother for the first time when I was 10 or 11 years old at Lakewood. New to the campground, Fluffy walked up to me and a group of kids at the pool-with a very embarrassed Andrea in tow- to introduce us. Marla and Andrea, I wish you and the entire family joy and long life.

Our son, Donnie, remembers her from her time at the Jewish General, where he was a medical resident. Fluffy was an friendly person who loved life and was fiercely proud. She weathered her many difficulties with treasured independence. Fluffy’s love of and pride in her family was always in evidence. Hopefully, fond memories of good times together will sustain you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Rhoda Arnold.

Dear Andrea, Marla, Neil, Lloyd and most beloved grandchildren. My first memories as a very young child was my next door neighbour and best friend Fluffy. We drifted in and out of each other’s lives over many years. We shared simchas, and yes losses. In the years since we all resettled here in Toronto we were always there for each other. I feel extremely fortunate to have had such a devoted and generous friend for most of my life. You, her devoted family brought Fluffy such nachas and joy. She loved you all fiercely and I know how she will be missed. Rest In Peace my dear old friend.

We spoke often with the dream of seeing each other as soon as we could during these troubling times. At least we exchanged “I love you” when we last spoke. My deepest sympathy to Andrea, Neil, Marla and families. Fluffy’s legacy is in the wonderful memories we’ll continue to share. Rest In Peace, beautiful lady.

Dear Andrea and Neil, Marla and Lloyd and children, My heart is broken since hearing of my dear friend Fluffy’s passing. We became friends over 60 years ago at Macdonald College and even though I left Montreal in 1970 we were always in touch. Her arrival in Toronto was great for me as I was able to get together with her each time I went to visit my own children. Even though she seemed to have a hard life, she always smiled, chuckled and commented in her humorous way and it was always wonderful to be in her company. She was blessed with the most devoted children and sons-in-law and for this she was very grateful! I hope that your good memories of your exceptional Mom will serve to ease your pain at this difficult time. You all made her and your Dad so proud!!

Dear Andrea and Marla and families, We mourn with you the loss of your dearly beloved mother and extend our sincere sympathies to your entire families. As friends since our teenage years in Montreal, Fluffy and I kept in touch even after she left to move to Toronto, and even while she was ill these past few of months and years. She was great that way - always wanting to keep in contact with old friends. We would always get together in Toronto when I visited my family there. I still wonder at her math skills. She's the only person I know who could add up huge columns of 4 numbers from left to right, and not right to left as we were taught in school. She had a warmth and interest in others that was much appreciated. She will be greatly missed. May it also help you to know that others are thinking of you with deepest sympathy and heartfelt understanding. May you find comfort in knowing that others share in your sorrow.

Andrea and Marla and families, This sad news coming after a year of so much sad news was all the more heartbreaking. I first met Fluffy as the substitute teacher of our grade 2 class, and was later blessed with repeated interactions as I chased her daughter Andrea around school. Every subsequent encounter throughout adolescence and adulthood was met with the most refreshingly frank and poignant conversations, no matter the length. I also recall a brief interaction between her and my late father where he later proclaimed "That's a smart woman." That she was, and she will be missed. Condolences to the family for what is a tremendous loss. Our love and thoughts are sincerely with you.
