Not sure what to say?

I remember "Aunt" Dorothy as my mother´s best friend. They spoke Polish together although as survivors, my parents refused to speak Polish after the Holocaust. I remember Aunt Dorothy´s warmth, caring, and matzo ball soup. Seriously, on Pesach, that matzo ball soup was outstanding. I´m grateful to have grown up calling her my "Aunt Dorothy," since because of the Holocaust, we had no grandparents. She always had an open heart and open home and I send her family my love at this time.

I was blessed to spend time unexpectedly with Mrs. Finger a few years ago. She shared a bit of her story with me and touched my heart.

I tried to call her today. She was always listed as "mom" in my iphone. I was calling to say that I am sorry for the way things transpired between me and another family member of hers. She was truly a kind soul. And it is awful when you try to make things or anything a little better when it is much too late. Gd rest her soul. She was my truly my "mom" in this very short lifetime. And I will always miss her.

I am so sorry for the loss of Dorothy. What a amazing woman. May her memory be a blessing.

Dorothy visiting my school (IHM), 2013

I was privileged to have Dorothy share her life's story with my 8th graders at IHM for several years. They loved meeting her, and I am grateful they'll be able to pass her experiences along to future generations. She was an extraordinary woman who made the world a better place. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Loved Dorothy all my life and this oh so special woman will be deeply missed in our world. I hope and pray that she is with the family she lost so early in life...

I am sorry I can't be there for the service or shiva this week. My thoughts are with you all as you remember your remarkable mom.
