God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

We will miss you~

My memories of several years spent with Zev at MONY when he was so happy to be accepted into working with me learning the Life Insurance business as a profession that eventually brought him into the nursing home business in which he excelled.

His philanthropy has been something his family can be so very proud of. He will be missed and respected in all our memories.

We were crestfallen to learn about Zev's passing. We hope that your fond memories will help to sustain you at this very difficult time and into the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
