Leonard and I have wonderful memories of your parents, especially playing golf with them, going out for dinner and the occasional barbecue at Hollybrook in Pembroke Pines. I go back to my childhood remembering them at Beth Emeth and in the Manor. Your mom was sweet, kind and loving. She left a legacy as did your father. The two of them were generous in their friendships and hospitality. They were quite a team. We are so sorry for your loss.

To the Silverberg Family: Although I only knew your mother, grandmother for about 10 years. She was the epitome of a sweet, kind lady, who always asked how you were and was interested in hearing about my travels to Europe. I played Mah Jongg with her and the rest of her cronies, Ruth Cohn, Florence Bernstein, etc. May only good memories remain with you now and forever. May you have no more sorrows. Paula White and Jerry Goldstein
