SADLY I HAVE NOT BLOGGED SINCE JUST BEFORE YOM TOV PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE 3 DAY YOM TOV,AND THEN ON FRIDAY NITE MY MOTHER KATE GANCHROW A'H PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 99.
THE FUNERAL WAS YESTERDAY,AND BECAUSE OF THE CHOL HAMOED-YOM TOV CALENDER, WE WILL NOT SIT SHIVAH UNTIL SAT NITE AFTER SHABBAT UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING.
SHE WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT SHE DID NOT SUFFER, AND HAD A FULL LIFE .
HER GREAT REWARD FOR HER LIFE AS A TORAH JEWESS,WAS TO WITNESS HER 3 CHILDREN, 11 GRANDCHILDREN AND 35 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN GROW, AND WITNESS ALL TO REMAIN SHOMER TORAH AND MITZVOTH.
SHE WAS AMERICAN BORN AND AS A YOUNG PERSON A STATISTICAL TYPIST-LONG BEFORE THERE WERE COMPUTERS.SHE WAS WELL READ,AND WAS INVOLVED IN HER SYNAGOGUE ,THE YOUNG ISRAEL OF BAYSIDE.
AS THE MATRIARCH OF OUR FAMILY, SHE WILL BE MISSED.HER INFLUENCE AND MEDOTH WILL REMAIN WITH US FOREVER.
PERHAPS LATER IN THE DAY , I WILL RETURN TO SOME CURRENT EVENTS.
