I always enjoyed conversing with Mrs Benjaminson.
It has been a long time now since I have spent time with her.
But my memories of her warmth and wisdom remain.

Dear Reb Yerachmiel, Your mother was a woman of Chessed and the Matriarch of your dear family. Nurturing the qualities of kindness and selflessness it is mirrored in you and in your family. Her memory is a blessing and a path to emulate.
She told me so many of her experiences with the frediker rebbe and this rebbe. She told me of her experiencez with the nazis and of saving lives in a hospital where the frediker rebbe told her to work. When her eyesight failed she loved to have people say tehilim with her. A truly amazing woman. She was a link to another world. She will be truly missed
