    Dear Marc and family, the memories of our families and yours will never be forgotten. We all had wonderful unforgotten joyous times. Our parents were best of friends. S0rry for your loss of a man who always greeted us with warmth, a sense of humor and a smile. The best of times. Your mother, Beverly was also a wonderful woman,warm, witty with a great sense of style. My mother is presently here in North Dartmouth at a beautiful assisted living facility, in a memory care area. Very healthy and hasn’t aged a bit. She is well cared for and happy. I brought her up from Florida last April. Joe Ganis passed away, he was over 100 years of age, and Shirley is with her daughter Jo-Anne in New Hampshire. My sisters and brother are well. Just wanted to let you know the fond memories having had the pleasure spending quite a bit of our youth with your family, and the great memories, love that shared. Love to you and yours, Miriam-Singer Cole (ARTHUR)
