Meirav, Etti and family- I am so very sorry for your loss!! I have known Devora for only a few months but I was very lucky to get to know her on such deep level and to know the very special woman that she was. Her family was the most important thing in her life- your happiness and health was all she cared about. She was blessed and appreciated you all for all your love and support! May she now rest in peace with her beloved husband- your father. You now have 2 Angels watching over you from the heavens. I am always here if you need to talk. יהי זכרה ברוך!
