Galina Berman

On Sunday, November 3, 2024 we lay to rest the Matriarch of our family. The most caring, loving, compassionate and selfless soul I know and love beyond words. A beloved mama to my brother David and I; a loving grandmother to Jordan and Brianna; an amazing mother-in-law to Igor; a devoted sister to her 3 most loving and caring brothers, Boris, Alik, and Valera; A loving aunt to Vadim, Rosty, Maxwell and Kyle, a great aunt to Sarah, Ava, Rhys, and a very caring friend. I cannot express how sad and broken my heart is. You’ve left us too soon. The bond that we shared runs deeper than an ocean. I will never forget our vacations together, our endless conversations we’ve shared and all the special times we’ve had. There wasn’t a day that went by the we did not speak to one another. Your unconditional love and devotion to your family whom you’ve always put ahead of yourself. You worried about everyone and everything. Who will call me to remind me to put on my jacket because its cold out? or remind me to take my vitamins. You were always the life of the parties. You loved art, poetry and public speaking. You had raised my brother and I to be good people. You’ve made me the woman I am today. A good wife to my husband Igor, whom you love and was very proud of. The best mom to Jordan and Brianna. You lived for your grandchildren. They were your entire life, your pride and joy. You live within me mamachka. What I wouldn’t do to tell you how much I love you once more. Now you’re at peace. You don’t need to worry anymore. You’ve done your job!  I know how much you’ve missed your parents. You can now reunite with them. Rest in peace mamachka. You will be greatly missed.  I will always love you and carry you in my heart for eternity. Until we meet again.
