Since I heard of Willy's passing I have been recalling so many moments of our twenty years as neighbors. Willy was one of the kindest, gentlest men I was ever lucky enough to know. Annie, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing Willy will create such a hole in yourl life and all the advice I can give to you is to close your eyes and remember your wonderful husband holding you and listen for his laugh in a memory. Nicole said she had seen him at her Baba's funeral a year ago and told me that he never changed - there was just something so timeless within him. To Sonis, Michael, Stephen and Andrew, I send you my sympathy. You had an amazing father and even though we expect our parents to pass first it is always hard. Watch over your Mom, each other and your children. Talk about the memories you have shared. I have found that being able to talk about my loved ones keep them alive and the joy they gave me is relived again. So please know I am with you today and tomorrow in spirit as I can not be there physically. With love and deepest sympathies, Ruth
