Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that we feel for the passing of Mira - may she rest in peace. She was a wonderful woman and was cherished by everyone who knew her. May our friendship and prayers ease Arben and Gert through this difficult time, and we are just one phone call away.
