EPILOGUE

Judith died peacefully at 11:20 PM yesterday, January 22, her mother Gerry at her side, holding her hand. Her dear children Greg and Jessica were there with us as well. She was surrounded by her closest family members (except her brother and sister-in-law who had gone back to Toronto a few days earlier). It couldn't have been better for Judith or for the four of us.

She slipped away without pain.

We all believe her dad was holding her other hand.

But our pain is almost unbearable, even though we've had 16 months knowing this event was inevitable.

We spent a long time afterwords holding Judith's fragile shell, and trying to comfort each other. It was a special time that none of us will forget.

Her funeral will be at 3:00 PM on Sunday, January 25th at Mount Sinai Memorial Park, 5950 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles 90068. (In the San Fernando Valley).

Shiva minyans will be held each night Sunday through Thursday at our home at 1459 Chastain Parkway West, Pacific Palisades, CA. 90272.

I cannot tell you how much I miss her.
