Our most sincere condolences for Bess' passing. I don't recall how long she and our mom were friends, but their Tikvah Club and Na'amat roots ran deep. We always heard about her Tikvah "sister" Bess. Sadly, our mom died Dec. 19.
Your mom is in our prayer.

To the Goldberg Family,
Please accept my deep sympathy for your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort from the words of the faithful man Job who said, ““. . . If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, Until my relief comes. 15 You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.”
May the peace of God that excels all thought guard your hearts and mental powers.

The entire Neiman family offers its heartfelt condolences at Bess's passing. We were profoundly touched by her friendship, kindness, and loyalty in life, and by your family going out of its way to mention Sherry and the company in the obituary notrice. Once you were lucky enough to become Bess's friend, you became her friend for life. We were all lucky to have known her, and have been part of her life.
