BDE …I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Shamir’s passing. My sincere condolences to the whole family. He was such a special sweet man. He had a smile that lit up the room. Whenever I came to the restaurant his radiant smile was sooo welcoming. His parents and sister were all sooo sweet and kind. I pray the wonderful memories you have will help to bring you much needed comfort now and forever. May Hashem give you the strength to bear your untimely loss. Adele Feldman
