May was a welcoming presence to many of us at Adat HaTikvah Messianic Synagogue. She could easily engage you in conversation, with a kind spirit. Almost always, she´d be working on some knitting/crocheting project that she´d be making for a family member or friend. She reflected the love of Yeshua to all who crossed her path. And left quite the legacy in doing so!
