To Marvin and family, May your sadness ease with time and may your wonderful memories of Babette last forever. She was very special to me and to her Temple family.

Babes and I volunteered at the Temple Israel Gift Shoppe. Together, we created the most successful Judaica shop in Columbus,Oh. More than working together we had a special friendship. I always have, and still will, treasure the times we spent together. I will miss you. RIP my friend.
