Thank you very much for writing this. Chaya was a casual friend of mine. I always felt extremely comfortable around her . I actually didn’t even know she had been ill, whenever we ran into each other over the last few years she was always so upbeat and never complained. I felt terrible not to have known and deeply saddened. Your words provided some insight that only a close family member would be able to know and share and I’m grateful to you that you did so.

Thank you for writing. Your family is close to my heart and I wish you find comfort and strength to continue. May you only know simchas and revealed good, with Chaya smiling down at you. I’m touched once again by the amazing bond you have with your sister, and how she waited for you on erev yom kipur… May we be reunited with Chaya and all our loved ones very very soon.

On behalf of my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shif and my family, and numerous relatives I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the organizers of the event. Given such a short notice (we found out about it yesterday and we live on the west coast) we won’t be able to be attend this event in person, so I would love to share a few words about my beloved sister, daughter and mother – Alta Chaya bas Zisl. When I was shown the post in ColLive with the picture of my sister and her youngest son Yosef Itzhak,… Read more »
