Please send us your memories of Pearl (click here)

  Pearl was a wonderful, special woman and a dear friend to my grandmother (Clara Feinstein z’l).  After my Zeidi died, your mom picked up my grandmother each week to take her to Shul and was a kind, attentive friend.  Your mom had the most beautiful, sparkling smile and I enjoyed spending time with her.  I remember going over to visit her when my kids were young, and she had recently returned from the wedding of one of your children and she proudly showed me pictures from the wedding; a smiling Pearl surrounded by grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  My mother-in-law always said that Pearl was the sister she never had and she loved her dearly. She was well loved by her friends and family and will be sorely missed.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.  I recall you speaking fondly of your mother and of your trips to visit your parents. What a bracha for you and the children to have had your mom for so many years but….. now, the gap must be very large.  May fond memories of happy times be a source of comfort for you.  
May you and all the mourners of Zion soon find consolation.

We will always have Pearl in our hearts. She was a woman of valor. Very caring, kind, thoughtful, friendly, capable, brilliant and a lover of books; charitable organizations were #1 on her list after her beloved family. She had a heart of gold and we loved having her here with us. 
We always had her with us at holiday time unless she was in Israel, at Marilyn and Richards or with one of the grandchildren and their families. Your online tribute to your mother Moshe is very beautiful and
captured the essence of Pearl. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The photo that you selected for the website is beautiful. To me, it shows her inner beauty, of wrinkles of wisdom, her genuine smile and her heart. 
Your mom was an inspiration to so many of us and a wonderful woman! Personally, she was a great role model  and reminded me how to always see the good - make that, the best in people! 
I think about your mom everyday. I do!! When I get dressed in the morning, her funny sayings about fashion run through my head and I smile, "especially when she'd say, "If you wear a few too many accessories because you couldn't decide which one, just tell your friends that you wanted their opinion on what looks best!". She had the best line about handbags and shoes when she'd say, "No matter what size my waist is, I never change sizes in shoes and handbags!" And whenever we're looking for a parking spot, my entire family says, "Let's do the Aunt Pearl method" which is to think positively - that you'll find a spot - and we do! These sayings may not qualify as great teachings from the Bible, but she had a way of teaching patience  and love and reminding us to be happy with who we are and what we have.

Because I was a bit younger and lived a ways down the block, I did not have a lot of interaction with your Mom. But I know my parents and grandmother did. They all spoke so highly of her. Thankfully she lived a long and blessed life. My mother died in 1990, she was 70 years old.
Your mother of blessed memory is now together with her heavenly father. She did make the world a better place, for the many people that knew her, and surely for many who did not know her personally.

Please accept my sincere tanhumim.  Though I never met your mother I will remember her as a fellow member of the select society of Cresson researchers.  Having lost my mother just before Lag B'Omer in 2013, and my mother-in-law on Shushan Purim this year, I know how hard this is, no matter how old they were and how old we are.  
Stuart Schoffman

So saddened by the news of your dear mother's passing. I had looked forward to seeing her again this year. It was always good to be together with her, and I will always remember her pride in her big family-nobody she knew came even close. I extend my heartfelt condolences to you, Judy, and the whole family. It may be a consolation to you that your mother lived to a ripe old age-never too old for the ones left behind.
