As a young child and teen growing up in Brooklyn,  I was fortunate to spend many vacations at my Aunt Ceils house in Miami.  
She was an excellent cook and my favorite breakfast of hers was Matzoh brie. She always LOVED shopping whether on Miracle Mile or at the mall. Her sense of style was evident no matter what she was wearing always adorned with matching jewels, be them real or costume.  Her sense of style lived with her ALL her life.  
On weekends my Uncle Nat would join us and we’d go shopping at the Festival Flea Market in Pompano.  Treasures were always purchased at a rock bargain price. 
After my uncle passed away, my mom and I drove down to see her most  EVERY weekend, when she-lived in Wynmoor . Our camaraderie was ever present. 
 She was so genuine, mild mannered and gregarious, NEVER uttering an unkind word about anybody. 
 She was an extraordinary seamstress and was forever hemming my mom’s pants.   We were frequently joined by her brother Paul , and the four of us would go out for dinner. 
So many wonderful memories of years spent together.  
The most ironic thing is that she was the healthiest of all of us right to the end except for her dementia and her blindness. What an indelible influence she had on our lives.  We miss her terribly. 
    Sylvia and Phyllis
