Dear Edelstein and Galinsky families we are so sad to hear about the passing of your mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Over the years we have fond memories of Lodjas warmth, kindness and caring nature. Len has memories of playing football in the rain and mud in Lodjas backyard and of her warm and loving home and the friendships that span generations. Lodja was a welcome visitor when my mother Shirley was home bound. When Lodja could no longer visit she would call to check in and help pass the time with a friendly chat. A very special lady who will be deeply missed.
