I just learned of Vola's passing today. The obituary made mention of her career at the Jewish Education Alliance. For the 4 years we lived in Savannah, and my Dad, Joe Moseson, was the Director there, she was his secretary. I have very, very fond memories of Vola and Jim, since we became friends with them and visited their home many times. My deepest condolences to the family.

Thinking of you at this time. Know your mom and my mom Dot McGinley are having a great time catching up on the calls they have missed with each other over the last 5 years. Know you will miss her.

In the latter years of her life, I saw very little of my Aunt Vola, so she was much younger in most of my memories of her. I was pleasantly surprised less than a year ago to get a phone call from her, for I had not talked with her for years. Back in the 1950s, I much enjoyed my summer stays at her home and the privilege of spending time with my cousins. Peggy and I extend our warmest wishes to Donna, Frances, and everyone who loved their mother. May God grant peace and comfort in this difficult time. Wish I could be there with you. My sister Barbara is in north Georgia visiting our ailing mother and will also be unable to come to Savannah.
