Dear Bob,
A wonderful memory of your mother was of her lounging at Cliffside on a pool chair in a two peice bathing suit with piles of "stuff" in her lap, all in prep for your Bar Mitzvah.....she was so looking forward it, and was so proud of you. The bathing suit is long gone, as is Cliffside, the Bar Mitzvah a memory.....but her pride in you (and your dad's as well) lived on.
Please accept our sympathy at the loss of a well remembered lady.
Don sends his best to you all,
Linda

I did mrs. shlien's hair back in the 60's. I think of her often as one of the nicest persons I've ever known. She taught me about the truth 0f the Holocaust. among other things.
