Dear Bev and Allison.....I always remember my dear mother Ann(Weinstein) being so happy and excited that a new neighbour moved in in the third floor....describing her as sweet, beautiful, with artistic clothes and jewellery.....and an artist! My mother always valued artists....and loved your sweet mother...they often went to meals together on the elevator..sat together at teas...and connected, not always needing words. And I loved when I met them both together ..there was a bond, so special.....
and particularly loved you being there, Bev.
My heart goes out to you....good daughters..your mom was blessed....may you have your special memories to help you through this loss....lots of love, Donna❤️

My sincerest condolences Bev and Alison. I have fond memories of your mother and she lives on in you: two beautiful women, inside and out. She couldn't have asked for two more loving daughters.

Dear Bev and Allison,
My heart goes out to you both on the loss of your beautiful, smiling, and spirited mother. Even now (after so many years) in my mind's eye I can see her still—reaching out to say hello to me with a merry glint in her eye. She may have slipped away out of her body, but the memories she has left behind for us are very strong.
A long hug to both of you,
Barbara
