WE FIRST MET FLORENCE AND CHARLIE IN MARCH 1952 AND WE BECAME GREAT FRIENDS.
WE WERE FIVE COUPLES AND CALLED OURSELVES "THE G A F E S"
FOR THE "GOLDENS, ABELS, FEDERMANS, ERTMANS AND SIGALS."
VACATIONS WERE SPENT TOGETHER FOR MANY YEARS, INCLUDING A MONTH LOMG VISIT TO ISRAEL AND EUROPE IN 1968.
FOR MANY YEARS WE ENJOYED THE VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES AT THE AGUDAS ACHIM SYNAGOGUE ON GREENFIELD STREET
WE BOTH MOVED TO FLORIDA AND SPENT MANY HAPPY YEARS TOGETHER THERE
FLORENCE LOVED TO ENTERTAIN AND COOK AND BAKE.
MOST OF ALL SHE LOVED HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Dear Sharon,
We were so sorry to learn of your Beloved Mother's death.
So many memories...The Shul,dinners, youth groups and the Mr. and Mrs Club for the old folks...aka our parents.
We are still so young....
Your Mom and Dad were such nice people. My Mom, Faye DuBrow worked with Charlie at Drug Suppliers...
Now that was a long time ago.

Be well.
Love, Roberta and Harold
