Dear Betty Anne and family
Sorry to hear of Mickey,s passing.
I remember all the good times on the golf course.
May he rest in peace.
I was just thinking of Mickey and what a great friend he was to me when I was going through my turbulent period. I am terribly distressed that he has passed on. He was such a good friend to me all those years ago. He always had the best advice and could get me back on track. I’m so sorry that he has passed on before I had a chance to say how much he (and his advice) meant to me. Please know that he will be missed.
Dear Betty Anne, I was with Ellen Bernstein Phillips last night and I mentioned you. She informed me that Mickey. had passed but did know when. I seem to be out of the Bernstein family loop
Anyway I want to offer my condolences to you and your family
Thinkibg of you. .
