Dear Steve, I was very sorry to learn of your Mother's death, and yet, at the same time, my reaction was, wow, what a great, long, and blessed life she had. Incredible how she escaped death during the war, and made such a big contribution to London and Canada. I found her book fascinating to read some years ago now. Fanny and my Mother were casual friends for many years, laughing and chatting in her store. When I was serving in elected office for 25 years , Fanny was a good supporter and always so encouraging to me personally. I admired her honest feedback whether she agreed with me or not, and she was clear about that many times, and we remained good friends. She will be greatly missed. Please extend to Michelle,Martin and the entire family, my sincerest sympathies. Thank-you Fanny, and may you rest in peace! Pat and Evelyn O'Brien

Steve, you were such a good son. (as I loved calling you that). Thank you for being such a good man, and truly taking such good care of your mama) I know it wasn't always easy but you did it, and you will always cherish those times. Thank you for being so gracious whenever you came into RW, when I was still there. I pray that God will give you strength as life without your mom will be so different for you and your family.

Hi Steve, I am very sad to hear about the passing of your mother, she was truly a great woman, who was well respected in the history of Jewish London. There are not many of her generation left. It was always very nice to see her and the rest of your family at Beth Tefilah. Take care my friend, Roger Carp
