On behalf of Dorit and I, we would like to offer our sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. Her generation was one of a kind, and exhibited exceptional strength and resilience after surviving the Holocaust. Most survivors picked up the pieces of their shattered lives and started over (as often as necessary). May it comfort you to know that she witnessed her family grow from babies to adulthood and then to being parents themselves. She must have been so proud of the generation she created and the one that has followed since.
