We have nothing but fond memories of Shaynee over the years. She was strong and bright and brought joy and laughter to all who knew her. Our families were blended and enjoyed being together at family simchot and spending time together. She remembered our birthdays and anniversaries every year and the cards and messages were plentiful. Her family will miss her but the memories and photos will last forever. Joyce and Marty Orbuch

I was saddened to see that Gerri had passed away. I did not know her well but we had interacted several times through my work at the Chicago Mitzvah Campaign. From the very first time we spoke on the phone (during the pandemic) I knew she was someone I wanted to get to know better. She was so positive and warm and I enjoyed every time we spoke or met in person. I am so very sorry for your loss of this lovely human being.
