Herb, Michael,Randi and Steven,
I was so saddened to see that Ann has passed away. I have such fond memories of living next door to all of you in Bloomfield. As the years went by, I would always see Ann around town and we would talk about those fun years. She was a special and loving person. May she rest in peace.

Growing up in Bloomfield, Connecticut, our parents were good friends. From Teferes Israel Synagogue to Herb's Donut Shop. We use to "live" at the donut shop. Our deepest sympathy go out to the entire family. May G-d bless you all.

Dear Herb and Children, Harold and I were saddened to read of your Darling Ann's death. We were just talking about the old days at Teferes Israel. We drive down Brown St. often when coming from our home in the Berkshires to our office in W.H. center.
We remember Ann and your family so well. Those were the days when we were young and had so many encounters with friends everywhere we went.
Please accept our deepest sympathy at this most difficult time.

Herb.,Michael,Randi,Steven & Family.,
I am so sorry about Ann (Iggy).,we sat across from each other at The Hartford and knew each other for many years. I always thought about her when I made her Jewish apple cake-she gave me the recipe-it just was never quite the same as hers. We send you our love and prayers and may you all cherish the wonderful memories.

Sincerely,
Tricia & Rich Merlo
