Aunt Sally was always sending thoughtful cards to myself and my family – even though I have not been living CT for the last 15 years and had seen very little of the Shapiros. She will be missed, but Heaven almost certianly has another Saint today. Maurice, John and family – please accept our deepest condolences.
