In Loving Memory of our friend who loved and lived the ways of the Torah In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond his departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things he touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. He lives on in your life and in the lives of all others that knew him. The memory of the righteous is for a blessing. (Proverbs 10:7 ' Lisa Wachrenheim 18 Messages
