Grandpa Abe

Another chapter is closed in the Book of the Whites. Granpa Abe, Judah's beloved grandfather passed away at age 95. Many of you knew my father, and knew of the special bond he had with Judah. At my father's funeral we all remembered how at Judah's memorial service he sang and read Danny boy to him.

Dad lived a full life, active to the end. He was reading Philip Roth's latest novel prior to his fall and breaking his hip, and hospitalization and then demise. His art work fills his home and will be a source of memory for all of us.

Abe very much liked Judah's friends that he knew, and always wanted a card game with Dave or any one else who would sit down to play. He appreciated the outpouring of affection for Judah.

There is another hole in my heart, but as it is said, we never get over, but we accommodate to the loss.

Much love,

Martha
