We were very saddened to hear about the petira of your mom. Just as you all said, she was a very special lady and to us she was a special friend. We cherished the friendship of both your parents and always enjoyed spending time with them whether it was for the second Seder, Succot, Shabbat, walks in the neighborhood or just so. We especially appreciated your mom’s musical talent which she shared with us. The songs that she taught not only to the choir but to all of us will always be cherished and etched in our memory. We will miss her. May her neshamah have an aliyah .May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalyim.
