Herb,Ann,Simon, Amy, and all the family,

We are devastated by the loss, as I sure you all are. Once there were six cousins on the Levinthal side of the family; now there are two. Hang in there Herb and you too Ann. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time, especially Ann. Lew was such a special person, one of my boyhood companions. We will say a special prayer at Synagogue tomorrow night. I don't go often,but on occasions such as this we do!

All our love, sympathy, and compassion, be with you all now and forever more

Shalom, we love you.
