These past few days have been incredibly difficult as we said goodbye to our beloved Mom. In her 90+ years, she journeyed from escaping persecution in Baghdad to building a new life in Israel, and eventually coming to the U.S. with our father. Together, they raised three children and welcomed countless others into our home, where she became a surrogate mom to many.
Mom was fiercely strong-willed and resilient, living life on her terms. She passed down that same tenacity to us, always encouraging us to forge our own paths.
Even in her final moments, she chose her own way. Though there is a huge hole in our hearts, her love, energy, and legacy live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and everyone who called her mom, sister, cousin, or friend.
Mom, may your life continue to be a blessing. We will miss you dearly.
