Sam and family, My condolences to all of you for your recent loss. It has been many years since we were in the youthful crowd in Pittsburgh and Ellie\'s passing has brought back the memories of the many times we spent as boys from East Liberty. I hope that your years ahead are peaceful and that your long loyalty, shared with Ellie, will give you peace knowing that she is at rest. Regards from your \"old\" friend, Marshall

My deepest sympathy to my Uncle and cousins on the loss of their wife and mother, my incredible Aunt Ele. She was a very loving and caring person and will be missed by so many people. My fondest memory was when she and her family spent Passover at our home and she would come down for breakfast in her penny loafers and white socks. I loved our many talks and visits and will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
