Dear Melanie and Joel and families: I had the privilege to spend time with your mother in the past and more recently. She was a classy woman; so warm towards me and I always felt welcomed by her. I am glad that she is at peace, though her loss is felt deeply. Your parents are now together and may Marilyn have an aliyas neshama. I am thinking of you, her children, may you only have simchas in the years ahead.

Dear Melanie, I was sorry to read this sad news. Although I never officially met your mom, I remember when my family would walk home from Beth Jacob, and your family would walk home from Adath Shalom, and we would sometimes run into each other at the corner of Sheppard-Wilmington My dad (who knew your dad) would exchange a Good Shabbos or a Good Yom Tov with your parents. A long time ago... May your warm and loving memories of your mother sustain you in the days and years ahead. HaMakom yenachem etchem b'toch she'ar avelei Tziyon v'Yerushalayim.

My dear friend Melanie, I was deeply saddened to hear of your mom's passing. I will always treasure my memories of Marilyn, who always made me feel welcome at your home on Vinci Cres., when you and I were growing up. She was a warm, lovely lady. I hope you find comfort in knowing that she is now at peace, and with your father. I had the privilege of spending some time with Martin as well, and he was a truly remarkable man. May you carry wonderful memories with you, as you look to the future for many blessings to come. I am sending my most heartfelt condolences to you, Joel, and your families.
