    We are all very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother of Blessed Memory. May the Almighty comfort you in the midst of the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

    Gertrude Aron was a long time friend and a very kind person. A real Yiddishe neshama. She will surely be missed.

    May it be G-d’ s will that her family know no more pain and distress. May they find true comfort and solace in those eternal goals and ideals that she stood for realizing them in our life so that she can look down from Heaven and derive lots of Yiddish nachas from her family for generations to come.

    Yossi Laufer, Warwick

    We are very sorry for your loss of our Auntie Gertie. She, with Uncle Sippy, will be right next to my parents, Ed & Evelyn Wasser for eternity. I will visit your parents/grandparents every time I visit my parents. I wish I could have been with you at the graveside but the video helped. Rabbi Ethan did a great job.

    I want to add my condolences to Marvin’s message. I always enjoyed my times with the family when Aunt Gert was there. She was always smiling and welcoming. We’ll miss her when we can once again gather together. Another end of a generation.
