Deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of Risa. We grew up together in Providence and attended the same temple. I know she will be deeply missed. Betty Leef
I am so very sad to see that my dear childhood friend has passed.. May all the wonderful and loving memories of her life bring you both peace. She loved her Colin and Bruce so very much. Rest in eternal love my friend.
Your old friend from the “hood”

so sorry for your loss
I knew Risa back in elementary school, she was a year or two behind me. Back in those days and neighborhood, everyone hung out together. Risa was always taking the lead in everything, be it after school activities, dance class at the Temple, or being in the bar/bat mitzvah circuit. Even when living in RI, she had to have “her” tan, so moving to California seemed quite natural for her.
We will miss her
I lived on galloping street and have known Risa my entire life. She was a grade ahead of me but the kids in the neighborhood always played together she was a sweet girl growing up and although we were not close friends I will always have fond memories of her
