Dearest Hyla, There really are no words. We all adored your mom. She had such a vivacious spirit. Everyone wanted to be around her. She was warm, fun loving, had a great sense of humour, a fabulous laugh and always had a kind word to say to anyone that she met. The world is a darker place without her but I have no doubt she’s smiling from up above together with your dad and grandparents. She will continue to watch over you in the protecting and loving way she always had. May Hashem comfort you and send you lots of strength. Xoxo, Esther, Dovid and family

They were uniquely kind and caring people, skilled and sensitive professionals and fine, gentle souls. Both of our children, Avi and Debra, were privileged to have your mother as a kindergarten teacher at Rockford P.S. and Calvin enjoyed a warm friendship with your father as a classmate in optometry and long time friend. I recall your mother's old fashioned hospitality and great pride that your parents had in you, their very special daughter. May your mother's memory be for a blessing and may she continue to inspire you throughout your life.

Dear Hyla, Felecia and your family: My deepest condolences on your loss of your mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Jacquie was Elana's JK and SK teacher and Melissa's JK teacher at Rockford. I have known her since 1988 and as I was very involved in the PTA at Rockford, I connected with Jacquie regularly during those years that the kids were there. More recently, I ran into Jacquie and Hyla at RCSS, the usual meeting ground for the neighbourhood. I will miss her smiling face and boisterous laugh. May Jacquie rest in peace and you all find strength in the legacy left by your beloved Jacquie.
