Dear Everyone,
I first met Mrs. Lessuk when I was about 4 years old. I haven't seen her for a long time, but my mom Diana and Jenny have always been updating me about the family. I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Nancy-
Yesterday I was driving in White Plains...the sky was full of big fluffy white clouds and the sun kept peeking out between the many rain showers and all I could think about was you! I thought about our friendship in Junior High and High School and all the good times we had. I thought to myself, she lives in Greenwich and I'm in Scarsdale I really need to call and meet up with her. Then today Jenny shared the news about your mom. I am constatnly amazed at how the universe works- Your mom was such a special part of my teen years. She made us laugh, roll our eyes and answer a million questions after school. She cared so much for you and your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this transitional time.
Love-
Michelle (Snayd) Hirsh
