Having recently faced the death of my spouse, I feel the pain of your loss so much! Grab the happy memories as they rush back and cry over the loss of future ones. I, too, was in the Peace Corps with Eric. Although I did not know Leah, I can "know" how wonderful she was having known her father. May you soon find peace.

Dear Leah - I was in the Peace Corps with your Dad back in 1967. I knew him well and your Mom and Dad visited us when we lived in nearby Arlington. You and I met some years later at your Mom's place in DC. Now I read that you have joined Dad....untimely passings....you will be - as your Dad was - missed and missed deeply. He is there to comfort you and you him. You both left long and strong marks....Abrazos. Jack Riehl Cape May, NJ. December 27, 2020

I did not know Leah, but I knew her father, Eric. He was a bunk mate with me when we trained in Puerto Rico to become Peace Corps Volunteers in Honduras (Group 8) in early 1967. I stayed at his place in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa and, in September 1969, at his place near Dupont Circle in DC. Eric and I both went on to have careers with USAID.

Nadav,

Although we never met Leah, all of us old Sherut LaAm friends of your dad knew all about her and all about how happy the two of you were together. Sincere condolences and much love to You, Eli and Kai. Wishing you strength and courage.. Bonnie Epstein, NYC

Thank you for honoring Leah at this meeting. I can't tell you how much I wish this were 10 or 15 years from now and I was in the audience at commencement wiping away tears of...

I am deeply saddened to hear about this tragedy. My deepest condolences to her loved ones.

Dr. Zallman was the gold standard in healthcare. I left Boston 3 years ago but still talk to people today about how compassionate and caring she was to me as a patient. I was never made to feel like my questions were anything but valid, that my concerns were anything but paramount, and my health was anything than her number 1 priority. My condolences go out to her colleagues and patients, and most importantly her family and friends.
