Mother had many lifelong girlfriends. She had a mahjong club and we remember her coming home at midnight one night after driving all her club members--Mildred, Zelda, Charlotte and Phyllis home. She was that spunky. She was caring and kind-hearted and as she drove us to Oak Grove station one morning, stopped and asked a businessman walking to the station to hop in. He was so thankful and grateful. She loved her late and lifelong friend and avid gardener Selma Freeman and we looked forward to attending her annual 4th of July cookout and watch the parade that passed by her beautiful home in Wakefield. She loved her daily telephone calls with Selma and when Selma passed away she started sending Liz her daughter birthday cards. She loved her late friend Gloria Friedland and was very sad when she could no longer speak to this lifelong friend of hers. Her joy was speaking to all her girlfriends on the telephone and was sad when she no longer had them to speak to. We spent our early life with her at Congregation Mishkan Tefila, the little shul on the hill on Granville Ave. where she grew up. What a time. Norma Binder, Sara Schatz, Mrs. Leeder, all the relatives. Oh yes. What a time it was. The highlight of her life was going out with her late sister Beatrice Razin. Ma, Auntie Butchie, Judith and Joyce were indeed a foursome that would go out every weekend for coffee and shopping. To say we had the best of times was an understatement. We laughed and laughed. She always enjoyed going to Shul and so many wonderful congregation members greeted her saying Good Shabbos Mrs. Rubin and she held Rabbi Rabinowitz in the highest regard, who came to visit her every week as she lived in Brookline. She loved Judaism. In the last week of her life, she lay in bed and I heard her repeat these words: All I want is a home. All I want is a Jewish family.. When she had a home, her greatest pleasure was cooking for her family, always. A member of the shul, Dan Bitran wrote this to my sister and I: I only came to know her in the twilight of her life. Still--she always had a smile and a kind word--she was truly inspirational. Baruch (Atah Adonay Elohaynoo Melech Haolam) Dayan Haemet. May we all rejoice together in Olam Ha-ba, he said, when we will see your Mom's radiant smile once again. We can't wait to see you again soon, Ma. Thank you for being the most enormously loving Mother. We loved cuddling up next to you on the sofa and feeling the warmth of your arm and kissing your soft beautiful face. You were our only sunshine. You and Judi and Joyce. We were three beating hearts as one. Now there are two lonely hearts. Your daughters world has finally come to an end because we are we without you.
