Such a special little boy. He will truly be missed by his siblings, parents, friends, family, and the whole Pittsburgh community
Please hashem mashiach now! He is too young to be taken away from us. He had such a special neshama, he was really going to grow up to be a tzadik

Beyond comprehensible

We were so happy to see eachother 😳. Goldie… I haven’t seen you in many long years. You were just a very young precious girl when we met & I was about 19 🤭.

To The Markel Family.
So very sorry to hear of your loss. Wishing all the Mishpocha, happy and healthy,
long lives, and only Simchas from now on.
I still feel attachments to Pittsburgh, from when my children, Moshe and Rochel
Pekkar lived there, and I visited on many YomTavim, and occasions.
