Although I did not know Inez, I would like to send my condolences to you. May you find comfort in knowing God cares about the pain you feel. Psalms 56:8 says He collects all our tears and preserves them in his bottle and records everyone in his book. It is my wish you will find comfort and hope from this thought from the Bible.

Dear Ira, Ellen and Robin, and families, I am very sorry to hear of Aunt Inez's passing. I know we have lost contact and therefore you could not have known this...but you guys are often in my thoughts. And obviously, Aunt Inez was, too. I tried to make sure you were invited to my kid's mitzvahs so you would at least know you we were thinking about you. In many places and with many students and others she touched, I am sure Aunt Inez will be remembered well. Please know that in this little corner of the world, she will also. Cousin Gary (in Chicago)
