Dear David,

It is wonderful to hear from a survivor of one of the most horrific acts of
terrorism ever carried out in the United States.  Thankfully you are alive.

We know that the possible loss of such a valued family treasure will cause
you much   sadness and despair.  On the positive side you actually got to
hold, read and have possession of this wonderful piece of family history.
If in fact the siddur is lost, you will carry the memories, contained
therein, with you always in your heart.

We have never met, but we take joy and comfort in the fact that you are
alive.  God Bless You.  We're sure that your great grandmother would be
extremely proud of the fact, that even during, what had to be, the most
traumatic day in your life, you took the time to mourn the lose of her
irreplaceable siddur.

Our prayers are with you.

Norman and Jean Fuhrer
