Personal note from Anastasia

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and Rebecca through the loss of our mom. We were thankfully able to be together with her niece Amy and "niece-in-law" Lisa at her granddaughter Samantha's bat mitzvah, the weekend after she passed. We said Kaddish, laughed, cried and danced as we celebrated Samantha - knowing she would have absolutely loved every minute. Without getting into too much detail, we wanted people to know that mom's final resting place will be in Israel, a place she loved with all of her heart and was able to visit before her disease took hold. Whenever we visited her or on Zoom, all she talked about was going to live in Israel by the sea. Please feel free to post your photos and memories on this site as a way to remember mom. Please share this with other people who knew and loved her.

Event details

Memorial events are private

Linda's granddaughter, Samantha, had her bat mitzvah a week after she passed. Anastasia, Rebecca and her niece, Amy and nephew's wife Lisa, and "cousins club" members Nanette and Gail as well as other family who logged onto Zoom were able to say Kaddish as mom's passing was part of the service and the celebration. Instead of doing a virtual service, we are hoping mom's friends and family can use this site to remember her, share photos and celebrate her life.
