Condolences

we just got back from Israel today and I heard about your mother. I am so sorry. She was a great friend to my family, and a n extemely kind person. May her memory be a blessing to all of you

Fern - I am very sorry for your loss.

Barry & Beth, Steve & Lydia, Fern & Alan and families, our deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear mom and grandmother. May your memories sustain you at this difficult time and may her memory be for a blessing. With love and support. Amy, Jeff and family

I want to offer my condolences. I’m a resident of the 9th floor and only knew your Mom for a few years. We would often meet in the halls and chat a little. I always left her with a smile on my face because she usually had a joke or a humorous remark to make. She has a terrific sense of humor and I will miss her. Again, so sorry for your loss.

My very deepest condolences to all of you. This hit almost as hard as my own mother. When I think of Beebe Merleeeen I see her standing in the kitchen, (probably making cholent for Jack) laughing so hard that tears would be rolling down her cheeks. I am so glad I was able to talk to her while she still knew who I was and especially for getting to facetime . The memories are just endless, and they are all a blessing. Rest easy now.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful neighbor. She was always a lovely and elegant woman.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Marlene was so much fun to be around.

So sorry for your loss. Marlene was the sweetest kindess person I knew. When I came to Pitt she called me, had me over for dinner and made sure I was ok. She was very funny and no one was spared her barbs when she was making a point. Rest in peace.

So very sorry for your loss. I remember your Mom as such a kind kind woman. May her memory be a blessing!
