I was saddened to learn of your mother's passing, and am sorry that a prior commitment will prevent me from attending her funeral today. Mom was President of Hadassah Council when I first came to London and I remember her well as a leader there. I also worked with her in the Or Shalom kitchen, helping to prepare for a USY regional convention here in London - I think that would have been in the late 1970s. Both then and in later years, I have always admired her calm, quiet attitude to things, her never-failing gift of leading by her own example of hard work and her genuine interest in and caring for everyone and everything. She was a truly rare individual and will be much missed. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Sincerely Susan Merskey
