I want to share my sympathy with your family at this time of final good-byes. I was a little girl when my sister, Ann (Leib) Polito, started working with your mother at AIB, while a student there. She always had time for a kind word and was wearing a smile when I remember stopping by AIB. I know that she was a role model for many AIB students through the years, as well as a wonderful role model for your family. May your memories help ease this loss and may you be comforted that she is healed and with your father again.
Lastly, here is a quote that reminds me of your mother.
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." Pericles, 1st citizen of Athens
