She was always so warm and kind. Her light will be missed!
Breindy exemplifies elegance, poise, always always has something nice to say. Her children are testimony to kind of parents she and Boruch are. A hidden treasure in our midst. This is way too sad.
So very sad

So sorry to hear this….
Loved seeing her at the beginning of the school year. She had such a calm beautiful friendly presence.
I would often notice the respectful and loving relationship she had with her husband.
There was Such a warm vibe coming to the store, when they both there together.

So very very sad..
Breindy was an incredibly beautiful, eidel, and cheerful woman….. LOVED BY ALL….when you spent time with Breindy, you felt happier…and empowered to do the right thing…Mashiach NOW…
Boruch dayan emes!
Such a lovely lovely woman 💔 taken too soon. You will really be missed Braindy 😢
I remember the sight of seeing her father learning each time I’d walk into the toystore…like what we read about in past times…I used to love that my children would see that.
And I used to sit near her mother in 770 on Shabbos. Always so kind to me, taking an interest, so refined and soft-spoken.
With parents like that, of course Breindy was so special!!

So shocked and sad of the news.
She helped me for many years shopping for the purim costumes of my kids by whatsapp as we are shluchim in a place we can’t find any al taaras akodesh. A very tzniyus and aydel woman!
I don’t know if I loved to frequent the store for the great toy selection or because she was such a friendly and warm person to talk to. I’ve been missing seeing her this last year or so and am so saddened to hear this! May Hashem comfort the family and we need Moshiach now!
Boruch Dayan Hoemes.Sad to hear this news.

It’s my kids favorite store because of the special service.
She always great us with a smile and tried to find the right toy, supplies or craft for each child
She always great us with a smile and tried to help with whatever needed
