Just wanted to let you know that I saw your message. I was at the Torah dedication. I did not know your Mom, but wanted to find out more about her when I got home and came across these postings. She sounds like a wonderful woman and her soul lives on with you and your family. Best wishes in medical school — I know you will do great things.
I’m not sure if anyone will read this, so long after my mother’s passing, but I can say that now as we’re approaching three years… I miss her just as much if not more than that sorrowful January. She’s the motivation behind every day in medical school, and I see her smiling back at me every time I do something right. I love her more every day, and will never stop missing her. May your neshama have an aliya, mommy let.
I thank you all for your messages. you are all correct about her zest for life and the beautiful person she is. My family misses her terribly and only want Hashem to bring Moshiach and the redemption so that we all can be together again. Please do one extra mitzvah in her name to bring Moshiach. John

I learned so much from her and this has left an incredible void in our lives. May Hashem comfort her family and all of her friends. We will miss her terribly. Hakodesh Baruch Hu, enough already , Please bring Moshiach and take away all of this suffering in the world.
BDE. So sad about the passing of one of the most beautiful, kind and loving young women I have ever known. Debbie was not only an extraordinary daughter, mother, wife and teacher. She will always be a beloved friend to me — she came to visit me repeatedly everytime I myself was hospitalized when I was younger. Also Debbie was there each time I came home from the hospital. We had so many fun times together when we were both in good health & lived in the same South Bay community — these memories I will treasure forever. Clearly, Debbie… Read more »
