Dear Jeffrey, Brad and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom, my Mom, Benita´s, first cousin was one of the warmest, most lovely people I have ever met. When she and your Dad got married, they honeymooned around the US and came to see us in Pittsburgh. I remember having pizza in our kitchen. Sherm gave Janet his crust - and as a child at the time, I thought that must be what true love is. When I was visiting St. Paul and Aunt Mania had a heart attack, your Mom took me in and made me feel I was part of your family. It seems, from what I have heard and read, that she continued to do that throughout her life - volunteering and helping strangers as well as family members. Although I haven´t seen you since you were small, I would love to have the opportunity to meet. If you ever come to Israel please let us know. May you be filled and blessed with your memories of your Mom.

Dear Jeffrey, Brad and family,
Sincere condolences from your cousins in Israel. I have warm memories of your family's visit here in Jerusalem and our meeting at the Inbal Hotel, as well as many childhood memories of your parents and grandparents in St. Paul. May Janet's memory be a blessing and "may her soul be bound in the bundle of the living--."
