GUEST BOOK

We encourage you to share your personal condolences and stories of Yetta Barack below and we will share them with the family.

The Greenberg/Ajlen family sends are love and deepest sympathies to the family. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

One beautiful memory I will always have is being able to share the joy with Yetta and Elysa as Eliana tried on wedding gowns. I remember how the three of us knew when it was the right dress, but it was Yetta who gave Eliana the final consent. That was such a wonderful memory to have, to see the happiness radiating from Yetta’s and Elyssa’s faces, along with Eliana’s joy of being a bride.

Dear Mishpucha in Chicago,

So many memories seeing you in Chicago or LA growing up. Lots of remembrances of Auntie Yetta with Corey and Bandy.

The service was lovely. All your words came from the heart and were so beautiful!

May Auntie Yetta's memory be a blessing.

David, will always remember your connection to me meeting Marla, which lead to Jordan meeting Cindy.

Love you All!

Cousins Marla and Steven
