Harold,

Your mother Winifred sounded like a wonderful person and an inspiration to leading and implementing many wonderful activities for Jewish causes. It sounds like she led quite a remarkable life. It is easy to see how you followed in her footsteps. We hope your mother is at peace now, and may her memory be for a blessing.
Our best,

Judy and David Rosenthal
