Sasha Bell STEIN-BLUMBERG

STEIN-BLUMBERG, Sasha Bell
-Left us peacefully on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 at her home after a six month struggle with post-surgery complications. Sasha was the beloved first born of Pamela Beth Stein and Jonathan Lawrence Blumberg, born June 6, 2004 with a complex form of Alagille Syndrome, requiring many interventions which she bravely endured. As we welcome Sasha's sister Mia into the world, we hope that she has Sasha's sweet nature and beautiful spirit. Sasha was a strong girl whose courageous struggle touched all who met her and her exceptional life is celebrated at her website (http://www.sashabella.com) and blog (http:// sashabella.blogspot.com). Sasha lives on in our hearts and is especially fondly remembered by Bubby Lorna Stein, Granny Marcia Blumberg, Grampy Henry Blumberg; aunties Jessica, Raina, Cindy, Lisa, Alisa, and Lynn; uncles Kenny, Mark, Kevin, Sean, and Ofer; cousins Erin, Betsy, Sarah, Ethan, Matthew, Theo, and Kate, along with the extended family, supportive 'Alagille family' of parents of AGS kids worldwide, and the kind and dedicated patient-centered care givers at Sick Kids Hospital, The Temmy Latner Palliative Care Centre, and Toronto Community Care Access Centre. We are especially thankful for the empathy and support of Dr. Jennifer Russell and Dr. David Chitayat. A graveside service will be held on Sunday, June 25th at 12 noon at Pardes Shalom Cemetery, Temple Emanu El section. If desired, memorial donations may be made to The Sasha Bella Fund, c/o Sick Kids Hospital, 555 University Avenue, Toronto, M5G 1X8, 416-813-5320.
