“Kathy and Bob, sending love and condolences. Your mom was one of the kindest, gentlest people I’ve ever known. I’ll miss knowing she’s still in the world with us. She was the last link to that generation for many of us.”

“Sending heartfelt condolences to the family. I remember our lovely visit together in Brookline MA a few years before my father, Bill Schwartz passed away. There was a lot of Schwartz/Langer history and it was a wonderful reunion. My grand daughter is Penelope! Glad we have another family connection. Emily Schwartz Tufeld”
