Dear Friend Judith and family,
You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time of your loss.
Mom and I were sad to read on line about the death of our neighbor for many years, Mr. Diamond. We would have been there for you but are here now in Your grief. What a inspiration he was as he walked to the Temple every Saturday evening. Dedication.
May our G_d surround each of you with comfort and peace.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Grace & Peace, Mildred and Janet

I knew Dr. Diamond from my early days growing up in the neighborhood of the pharmacy. I delivered newspapers in Warwick Gardens and picked up my papers at the pharmacy. On Saturday evenings our family would visit the pharmacy for a treat. A special memory is when Dr. Diamond "hired" me to pass out flyers about the pharmacy in the neighborhoods he served. My brother and I delivered over 1000 flyers for which we were paid one cent per flyer to deliver. That was $10. Quite a nice bit of spending money for a youngster. I will always remember Dr. Diamond, his brother ,and the entire Diamond family with fond memories.

I was saddened to hear of Larry's death. He was a pillar of strength for both his family and Adath Jeshurun Synagogue. My condolences to his entire family. He is now with the righteous people with Ha'Shem.

I worked at the Pharmacy many, many years ago and was always treated very well. Mr. Diamond allowed me to work the hours suited my family life as I had two young children. Sorry to hear of his passing, and may the wonderful memories bring comfort to all the family.

All of you know how special your family is to our family. We have such wonderful memories of him over the years. As I told you, one of the most special memories is when he walked to our wedding and greeted us at the door right after we came down the aisle. We have enjoyed being a part of your many family celebrations. I can see his smiling face and wave as we would see him on Saturdays. Cherish your happy memories. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers, Love,
