We are but mortals here....

[phyncke]

To Auggie...

Wife, sister, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, Berkeleyan, music appreciator...with elegance, grace and humour she met life at each turn. Well she died today, of complications from a stroke. She had survived her husband a few years and her sister...she was 84.

She lived in my town and considered me a friend of her family. My memories of her include coffees at Peet's, Sunday night potluck's and talking about anything you could imagine. She would always listen attentively and have something informed to say.

I have to say, she lived a full and fruitful life. She had heart, spirit and courage.

I will miss her.

Thank you for reading.
