I'm back in Whitehorse after a month near Montreal to be with our mom. I am so sad to hear about Pola. Your mom was so loving and caring and always full of hugs and sweetness.....I will always remember how both your parents were so kind to our family. Sending love and condolences to your family.

Dear Barbara, Bram and Shari. I have just arrived in Montreal to visit our mother. I was saddened to hear of Pola's passing. I have some lovely memories, particularly of Pola and Sam dancing in the streets of Jerusalem when they visited one Independence days. Pola was the model of positive, elegance and a great cook!
My deepest condolances to you all.
best
