Mirsky was the nicest most courageous person and very interesting. She adjusted to whatever faced her in a practical and accepting way and was very smart. Life was hard for her every step of the way and she deserved much more than she got. But she was extraordinary and wonderful. She is one of those rare people who makes the world less for her absence.
I met Sharai when I was 18, while most of the people my age that knew Sharai called her aunt, she was more like a mother to me. She always had advice to give, she helped shape me into the woman I am today. I will always be grateful for the time I had with her. I miss her everyday.
Mirsky was very funny and clever. She was my friend, always cheerful and resourceful. I considered her one of those special people. She smuggled a ham for her parents into Israel and then found it was perfectly legal and she smelled like bacon. She was overweight but found dates on a websight for men who liked large women and found a man she loved after saying what a creep he was on the sight. Her mother was a Mexican convert to Judaism and she was Jewish which is how I met her. Mirsky had a miniature poodle she loved and she loved the Grateful Dead. She played guitar and in all ways was adventurous and fun.
I first met Sharai when she was 16 yrs old her dad brought her over and left her. Her mom and dad considered me family and I made a promise to take care of her. Felt like I raise a baby sister years went by we stayed friends went our different ways. I found her in Hot Springs and came visited her for several years she talked me into moving up here. She was intelligent beautiful woman with a heart bigger than the universe.
Sharai was my friend. We always used to have interesting conversations on almost any subject. Her intelligence and quick wit were always available in lavish quantities. She was just the kind of person you felt comfortable being around. She loved her times in Israel, on a Kibbutz I believe, so much. We talked about it frequently. Also, her times touring with the 'Grateful Dead' were some of the best of her life. I certainly can't blame her. You will be missed by us all Sharia, but especially me!
My daughters and my husband and I were honored to know Sharai. My husband got to know here at the dialysis center here in Hot Springs where they both attended. My niece and nephew here also knew her well. She loved people and the ones closest to her too. We all will miss her terribly.
