It is hard to believe that this beautiful lady so full of laughter, love and life is no longer with us.
Honey and Shelly always stayed in contact with their Auntie Feiga and (late) Uncle Murray and her passing leaves a void as far away as her old Winnipeg home.
We, her cousins and aunt send our deepest condolences to the Berkle family.

How we will miss our special Honey. There is no one like her, with her cheerful nature, kindness and consideration. Spending time with Honey was filled with pure joy and warmth. At Temple, I loved to see what she was wearing; she who was the epitome of style. Honey was filled with class, and charm, and she treated others as though they were special. Honey has touched the lives of so many, especially for her bravery during her difficult illness. She will remain in our hearts forever.

We are shocked to hear of the loss of our beloved cousin Honey. She was my creative counterpart and I loved comparing jewelry with her when we'd see each other.
Her whole image was a work of art. She was in all her glory wearing any one of her magnificent outfits.
Her " Shelley " and her kids and grandkids were everything to her.
Honey we shall miss you dearly. Shelley and your entire family - our deepest condolences for such a terrible loss.
One of a kind.
Hugs
