My condolences to the family of Elaine Rudov. I worked at the Holocaust Center when she was a volunteer there and she was always so positive and upbeat. She was eager to help the young people who were making their Bar or Bat Mitzvah's and helped to create what is now known as the "Remembering the Children" program. May her memory forever be a blessing. Samantha Chilton

Dear Mom, Thank you so very much for a lifetime of wonder and fulfillment. You travelled so many roads, saw so many things and left a legacy for which you will be now and in the future honored. Your sons and their wives and prodigy will ensure we live up to the ideals you have laid before us. The hills you have climbed, the sacrifices you made, the challenges you have met and conquered are a testament and foundation to the gifts you have left us all. Please know we have taken up the reigns and will go forward. From the poem \"Invictus\" you taught us as children: Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. Your love is emblazoned upon my heart, inscribed in my soul and satiates my memory. We love you very much.
