Hi, I came across that page by accident, while looking up my own name, Gila Abramowitz. I don´t know you but it´s always sad to read when someone dies so young. I myself am 53, and I too am from israel, although I lived in the states for 23 years. I am very sorry for the loss of the family, especially the parents. No parent should outlive their child.

I have known Gila since 2006. She cut my hair for fourteen years. She was a devoted family woman and incredibly faithful to God.
We talked many times about life, while she styled my hair better than anyone else. She was an incredibly talented artist of style. She cut my wife’s hair and my daughter’s hair.
She loved her family, her husband, her children, and grandchildren.
God bless you Gila. And our prayers are with your family.
Sincerely,
The Harding family.
