I just have to thank everyone who posted here. It's been such a lovely
experience to read your memories of Nechama, I'm going to miss her. It's
been a wonderful consolation, like a virtual wake for a woman who truly had
such a global community that we never could have had this sharing in any
real geography. I really appreciate it. Thank you all so much. --Bonita
