What a lovely woman.
She and Rabbi Klein (OBM)were so caring and wonderful to my Aunt Adelle Barnett(OBM).
Rebetzin Klein was a role model for all of us.

May she rest in peace reunited with her dear husband.

Sydelle was an amazing woman. Even though I didn’t see her often I feel like she was family. She was always curious to know what was going on in my life and was interested and was an amazing listener. I loved talking with her about family and life. Every time I saw her, she was so well put together and such a classy woman. I know she will be missed my many. May she rest in peace and may her memory always be for a beautiful blessing. Sending love, and strength to the whole family.

I got the news in the Immigration Klita office at Ben Gurion airport as I made Aliyah this morning
Her memory is a blessing
I remember that Avi z’l & I visited Uncle Sam & Aunt Sydelle on our way to Mayo Clinic one time. They were loving & solicitous. When I called Sydelle, even in later years, she always remembered Avi z’l

I grew up knowing my cousin Sydelle by the name her family called her, Perel, a Yiddish word most apt to describe her, a pearl. She was already a teenager when I was born, so she was more like an aunt to me. I had a chance to visit with her and her dear, amazing family on rare occasions since lhey always lived far away from me, but each time, whether in the States or in Israel, I added a cherished memory. Now, may her memory be for a blessing.

Aunt Sydelle always took such good care of me when I would visit from Mayo Medical School. She loved my father, her brother Murray z”l and he loved her. Unfortunately they were separated many years ago with his untimely death.
I am sad today as I feel I have lost another piece of my father and grandma and grandpa Lerer. The legacy they leave behind is huge and beautiful. May her memory be a blessing for the entire family and all of Israel.

Our hearts are so sad at the passing of your beloved mother , grandmother , great grandmother and our Aunt Sydelle z”l.
There have been so wonderful memories over the decades that pop into our minds recalling her kindness , love and generous nature. She was so thoughtful , caring and wise during the time when Paul was a medical student and was often in her home. He loved those weekends when he would be spoiled and cared for and always shared those days with me and our children. Subsequently on my trips to Chicago, and here in NY, I too experienced her warmth and love. She was a great daughter exhibiting so much kibud av v’em , and will be remembered by thousands of students as the great teacher she was and helped so many young people feel confident along the way. Her greatest achievement alongside Uncle Sam z”l are her amazing children. Accomplished and talented.. each one of you encompasses the best of both your parents and have held dear lessons and traditions of great respect , honor and midot of chesed and kindness in your chosen professions and lives. Her legacy is a testament to all that you stand for and her good name and wonderful neshama will always be remembered with love.

As she is reunited with her beloved Sam z”l, who waits for her at the Gates of Gan Eden, her beautiful heart is filled with so much love as she looks back proudly, smiling at each of you and your children and the lives you live. May her extraordinary neshama have the highest Aliya and may she always be a meletz osher for you and the family.
All our love.
Your cousins who care for all of you deeply

חברי צבי היקר והאהוב,
קיבלתי בצער עמוק את הבשורה על פטירת אמך היקרה. ליבי איתך בשעה קשה וכואבת זו, במיוחד כשאתה רחוק מהבית והפרידה מתקיימת בחו״ל. אין מילים שיכולות באמת לנחם אובדן של אם, מקור של חיים, אהבה וערכים.

אני מבקש לחבק אותך מרחוק ולשלוח לך חיזוק ונחמה. אתה אדם יקר, רופא מסור ואיש של חסד ולב גדול – ואין לי ספק שכל הטוב שאתה מביא לעולם הוא גם פרי דרכה וחינוכה. יהי זכרה ברוך, ותהא נשמתה צרורה בצרור החיים.

מאחל לך שתמצא כוח בתוך הכאב, ושאתה ומשפחתך תנוחמו מן השמים, ולא תדעו עוד צער.
אני כאן בשבילך, בכל עת.
רמי רווח וכל המשפחה

רמי רווח

My husband and I met Sydelle and Sam at the Singer’s succah about 15 years ago and it started a wonderful friendship that was nurtured by out frequent visits to Skokie and regular phone calls throughout the years.
We were never at a loss for meaningful conversations and her infectious good humor was a constant inspiration.
I loved her so much and will forever cherish our friendship!
My condolences to all the Kleins and Singers and hope the wonderful memories will sustain them in their grief!

Sydelle was a very kind and generous person. The late Rabbi Klein and Sydelle cared about us and their Ner Tamid Congregation. Our condolences to the entire Klein family

Dearest Klein Family,

We are forever grateful for the time we got to spend together in Dallas with your parents over the years. We are especially grateful for your mother's recommendation of The Garden of the Gods as a destination for our daughter's wedding. Every time we look at pictures of the magnificent scenery from the wedding, we remember whose idea it was!!
Mrs. Klein was a true Aishes Chayil and she lived each day surrounded by the love of her precious family. May the memories of those happier times bring some measure of comfort in the weeks and months ahead as the family adjusts to the new normal without your precious your beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Baruch Dayan Emes. May your mothers Neshama have an Aliyah.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, a true matriarch and Eshet Chayil. Everyone spoke beautifully at the levayah.
