Dearest Stephanie and Nikki,
I am listening to a book that led me to look online about your parents and was so saddened to learn this news about your beloved mother. I will never forget your kindness when my mother died and I am so sorry I was not there for you both. Your mother and her lovely manner and smile are such a warm and loving part of my memories of so many wonderful visits to your family apartment throughout childhood. How blessed to have her grace your lives for so many years and I am comforted to know you have incredible memories to light the days forward.
Love and hugs,
Amy Genkins

I am heartbroken to read this news. It was an honor to have known Ms. Seligman. I´ve been a hairstylist for 48 years and I must say that in my career, she is one of the most special people whom I will never forget. My deepest condolences to her entire family.

Dear Nicole and Stephanie, Please accept my deep -felt condolences on your mother´s passing. She was a warm, loving perceptive woman whose memory I will cherish. It saddens me to think she is no longer just across the park in her lovely apartment. I only wish I had visited her more recently; time spent with her was memorable and soul-warming to me.
