MARILYN & CYRIL LEVENSTEIN

Dear Elaine, Shirley, Debra and Jodi and grandchildren -- It is so very difficult and hard to believe that I am writing this condolence message on the passing of my very special, very loved, "Cousin Sammy" ----- my heart is breaking and we are still trying to accept the terrible news that we received today --- we had the most wonderful dinner together a few weeks ago before we came down to Florida for the season -- our parting words were that we all promised to stay in good health so that we would get together again on our return for Passover. Sammy loved telling his unforgettable stories when we all lived in the same house together growing up on Robert Street -- the memories will continue but his passing has left a gaping hole in our ever-shrinking little group of cousins. As you know, we will not be with you tomorrow or for the shiva, but please know that you are on our minds and in our thoughts and hearts -- with much love from Levenstein and Kagan families.

Dear Elaine and family. I'm truly saddened to hear of Sam's passing. He was my mentor back in the 80's when my family business needed the confidence to succeed and Sam provided that and then some. I don't know that we could have done it without him. His warmth and caring and infectious laugh is something I'll always remember. My sincere condolences to your entire family. Rest in peace Sam.

Dear Elaine & Family, I was only just today informed of this very sad news. Sam was one of a kind, a mentor to me over the years and just a super special warm - even delicious man. Sam loved you dearly Elaine, and in turn he was for loving. How he so enjoyed the action of his home textiles businesses,and life - living it fully and always decently, a gentleman personified. I will miss him very, very much. Doug Mayoff
