My deepest condolences for the great loss of the love of your life, Alex. Losing a life's partner is so very hard. After 50 years of marriage there is a wonderful store of memories for all of you. I hope these memories will help you and your family deal with their loss. Although there will be tears, there will be many, many smiles. One of my great memories of Alex goes back to when he was a young single man and Jim and I were newly married. He would come to Sunday dinner once in a while and his first question when invited was, what was I making, if it was stuffed spareribs, I received an immediate acceptance with a big smile. My prayers are with you. Love, Esther
