Funeral Details

To My Dear Friend, Larisa (Lora to me)💗

I can’t believe we have been friends for over 30 years. I will always cherish the special times we’ve spent together every week . We sure had a lot of laughs and fun conversations. I was sure lucky to have you in my life. You will be deeply missed . May you rest in peace, until we meet again.💗

To Alex, Steve & Alan…, May you find comfort at this sad time as you remember all the wonderful memories you’ve all shared together through the years. You will be in my thoughts and prayers every day. I believe she will always be watching over you all and smiling down from heaven . Stay strong❤️

We are so heartbroken about Lora’s passing. It feels impossible that in just one short month she was taken from all of us. The speed of it makes it even harder to understand and accept.

Lora was such a bright presence — always kind, optimistic, and full of life. We will always remember her wonderful sense of humor and the warmth she brought to our neighborhood. Our kids grew up together, and we will forever be grateful for those years and the memories we share.

Steven, Alan, Sasha— our heart aches for you on the loss of your beautiful mom. There are no words that can truly ease this pain, but please know you are surrounded by love and support.

Please know our family is holding all of you close in our thoughts and prayers. May her memory always be a blessing and a source of light.

With deepest sympathy and love.💔
Alik and Irina Ekelman
