Dear Phil, Lori & Brown Family,

We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  I just finished watching her funeral service and it was truly touching to hear all the beautiful speeches and memories of her.  She was a very special woman indeed.  I fondly remember sitting next to her at one of the family events, several years ago.  She took such a special loving interest in me and what I had to say.  And wanting to hear about me and my family.   I just remember feeling what a kind genuine heart she had.   She had the most lovely smile too.  I am sorry I didn't get more time to spend with her, in all the years, given our distance.  I know Jason felt the same way too.  

We send all our love and support to all of you at this most difficult time.  

With Love and Deepest Condolences,
 Sandra, Jason and Ryan xo

Dear Family,
As Shirley’s kid cousin from California, I would like to share a few of my most vivid memories of this lovely, smart, witty, kind, elegant woman.
Shirley was already married to Jerry when I remember first meeting her.  I had flown to New York for the summer as a 13-year-old unaccompanied minor and was staying part of the time at your grandparents in Crown Heights.  It was she who showed me around New York City, making me feel the excitement of the place.   I remember most clearly our visit to the Museum of Natural History, where she showed the greatest interest in the exhibit on growth of the human embryo and fetus in the uterus.  I learned later that much of this interest was due to little Stuart growing and developing inside her at the time.
Skip a generation.  In the summer of 1983 Evelyn, the kids and I were driving from Halifax to Los Angeles for a sabbatical year at UCLA.  As Philip knows, we are a family of tent campers. The five of us had just got soaked in a cloudburst in the Adirondacks before arriving at that elegant Tudor home in South Orange.   Shirley couldn’t have been more gracious, as she set us up to dry out our tents and sleeping bags in the basement.          
Our more recent occasions to get together were for family weddings, when we were visiting the East Coast or when Shirley was visiting California.   We had a lovely brief visit in Springfield when she felt she had to make a light lunch for us.   
My mother was her favorite Aunt Mimi with whom she had many years of correspondence by mail.  They both loved to write long letters to each other.    
Evelyn and I really appreciated seeing Shirley’s children and grandchildren speaking about her on the streamed eulogies and  I was struck by the strong  family resemblance between children and parents.  
May you find comfort in her memory.

In the over 31 years that I have known Shirley we have shared many good happenings.  Our children's engagement party, wedding,  birth of our grandchildren,  a bar and batmitzvah, Lori's 50th and Ally and Zack's engagement party.  Coming in for several Thanksgiving weekends over the years was enjoyed beyond!  
These memories will always be with me. 
Much  love   Marilyn

Dear Leslie and Family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother.  It's been many years since I've seen her in person but will always remember her warmth and charm and strength of character.  
I'm making a donation in her honor to the Anti-Defamation League.
My condolences and much love,
Laura Elwyn

I would like to express my sadness over the passing of Shirly.
She was a stunning, intelligent woman who over the years that I was able to see her was very appreciative of her kindness and sweetness towards family.  

she will be missed.
