Dear Helene and Stewart, We were so sorry to hear of your Mom\'s passing. She was such a special, happy lady. I am glad that I got a chance to speak to her just a few months ago...and she was so upbeat then even as she spoke of her disabilities. She was a favorite of my father. He loved to tease her. And whenever we would see her, she always started by asking, \"How are you darlin?\" She will be missed by all of us. Pesh(Flom) Katz
