Dear Jaffe Family,

What a wonderful woman your mother was. I enjoyed running into her at the grocery store or anywhere. She always had a huge smile and hug for me. She was so compassionate and kind and saw humor in many of life’s experiences.
May her memory be for a blessing and I wish peace for you all.
Warm regards,
Patty and Fred Lurie
