Mushka was a wonderful caring person with a strong love for her family, the Rebbe and Hashem. I miss her dreadfully. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree-she loved and respected her father tremendously. I can see why. May their memories be for a blessing for Klal Yisrael.

You are right. This picture was taken on Sunday the second day of Chol Hamoed Sukos, 18 Tishrei 5748 Tof Shin Mem Chess. Rabbi Mentlick passed away next Motzoei Shabbos 25 Tishrei less than a week later. This could have been one of the last pictures. He was very friendly with Reb Dovid and a great and wonderful Jew. Thank you for your comment.
