Dear Isaac and Albert,  Please accept our sincerest condolences.  I spoke to your mother just two weeks prior to her passing, and we had a lively conversation about the family in Panama.  She was always extremely proud of both of her sons,  and we have many fond memories of her.   Albert and Leila Attia (in NYC).

I can't begin to tell you just how very saddened I am to have learned of your mothers passing Al.  Although I never had the pleasure of meeting your Mom, I can see just how beautiful a person she was in the man you are today.  If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to call upon me.  Please accept my family's most sincere condolences to you and Isaac.  

Rob, Alex and Averey Wood.

Dear Albert and Isaac, I am Rita Attia Schwartz.  My father was Mauricio Attia and of course, your mother was my aunt and a very dear one.  Although I haven't seen her in many years, I cherish warm memories of her.  She was such a kind and gentle person and I know that you will miss her very much.  I remember her well when I was a young girl growing up in Panama.  There are many stories to tell and even a photograph of her when she graduated from hight school which I would like to share with you.  I will call you in the next week when your time of shiva is over and we can remember her together.  Best wishes to you and to Isaac.  With my deepest condolences, Rita

Mrs. Yedid, or Mrs. Y as friends of Al's called her, welcomed you into her home with happiness. My memories of her warmth and generosity will live on. My heart goes out to my friend Albert and hope Isaac will not suffer. Albert, you were strong. I hope this horrible feeling will pass so that you can remember all the wonderful times you had with your mom. Those memories will live on forever.

Albert, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know how devoted you were to her. She was a kind and gentle woman. I always enjoyed our visits. May your memories help you through this most difficult time.
