Your mom impressed me from the first time I met her when she started coming to KJBS. She was intelligent, warm, willing to help KJ using her experiences at AG Beth Israel. May her memory serve as an inspiration and guiding light for you and may those memories bring you solace.

Dear Norman, Marla and family--my sincere condolences to all of you. Everyone who uses these words in reaction to a loss like this are very well-meaning-including me. But words are of of little solace. I say this out of personal experience. I so regret that I never got to know my Aunt Bella, who was clearly a strong, tough gal-a fighter til the last. My heart goes out to all of you. May her memory be a blessing.

Marla, Norman, & the rest of my extended relatives,
You all have my deepest Sympathies. In another life, with better decisions and respect, maybe 25+ years could've been different. I pray that everyone heals from grandma Bellas death lives their lives to the fullest.
