Of course, Helaine is not in a position to write a message for the temple, and I'm sure no one expects it. She is with her son at this time. She sent the following message for us:
I know it is time for a December article from your president but at this time I simply would like to express, instead, to all of my dear friends at Temple B'nai Israel a sincere thank you for all your outpouring of support during this difficult time during the illness and loss of my dear husband Jim . He was not Jewish but he believed in tecun olam and had that type of soul. He was a blessing to me for 7 1/2 years, generous to many including our temple, supportive of my volunteerism for the temple and the kindest person I ever had the privilege of knowing -- dearly beloved by so many. He never wanted acknowledgement of the many deeds he did. It was a way of life for him to be kind to others and make them happy to be in his presence. He left the world a better place for having been here. Genuinely, Helaine
