Beverly Weiner wrote a sympathy message

“In later years we got together for lunch with both Dorie and Ellie, my Mom, Aunt, and a cousin when they were available. I was often the designated driver as distance was an issue for my Mom and Aunt. The last time I saw your Mom before my parent's death in 2005 was for lunch taking my Mom to your Mom's house in Clarendon Hills and then to one of the local restaurants. I do think about both Dorie and Ellie on February 3 as I guess I will never forget their birthday. The end of an era /w love”
