Baruch Dayan Haemes. I met her toward the end of her life. Basya o.b.m. I wish I had heard about the levaya in time.
Bde, sorry to hear about her passing.
May her family be comforted including the
701 family where she lived. The neighbors
In 701 are real baalei chesed. Such good people.
They were there for her all through he illness.
We ought to learn from the 701 tenants.
Basia/Beatrice was a very special woman and it pains me to hear that she passed. BDE she will be missed.
BDE, she was an amazing BRIGHT woman.
She will be missed.
It’s a very big mitzvah to go be Menachem Avel. Basia was a gem and loved this community. You may not know her by name but I’m sure many of you would recognize her.
I found out about her passing earlier today and went to be Menachem avel her son. He is a very fine young Breslov chossid who is sitting alone. He lives in Israel and does not have any family or friends here. He speaks some English and is fluent in Yiddish and Hebrew.
Not sure if that mincha time is correct. I believe it’s 3pm.
Sorry to hear! Wishing you comfort
