I have known Amy on and off, always with love, for about eight years. She is a Jewish Eishet Chayol, a woman of valor, who has lived through adversity. A continuous love and support of her son Jake (whose progress I have continued to admire.) A loyal supporter of Chabad. I miss her.

I was so lucky to have you as my very good friend for over 50 years. I miss you and can´t believe you´re gone but as the rabbi said when a person dies they are still with you. You´ll always be with me. I love you.

I´m so grateful to have spent an afternoon with her last month-laughing and sharing stories.
It´s incredible to think that was our last visit.
My heart aches.
