Dusty,
So sorry to read of your mother's recent passing. She lived a very full, active life for those 96 years. I met her only once at Jason's Bar Mitzvah so long ago. She was a personable lady and I enjoyed visiting with her. I know you must be missing her. I understand your sorrow and loss. Carol and I lost our dear mother on July 30th of last year. Dorothy was 99 years young. She lived with me for 10 years and I miss her terribly. She raised my sister and I on her own. She loved being a mom. What sweet memories I have of her and our special times and bond we had. She fell and broke her hip at my sister's home in West Virginia and doctors would not operate because of the frailness in her bones. We were forced to place her in a nursing home. She also had some dementia and was legally blind because of macular degeneration. She died a year later. Dorothy is now at peace and with her loved ones in heaven. May you and your family find peace in your special memories of Helen.

I met Mrs. Neumark back in the early 1980s at her grandson's Bar Mitzvah. At the time I was dating her son Dustin's administrative assistant, Linda Wood. Mrs. Neumark was a warm, personable woman. I am sorry for your loss.
