One of her great lessons was supportiveness toward your family. I remember when my youngest brother got divorced, telling my mom that I wanted to remain on good terms with my brother’s ex-wife. My mother said she had no problem as I long as I was supportive of my brother. I did remain on good terms with her, and she was there for me when I had surgery for Thyroid Cancer in 1993. Unfortunately she died at age 40 of appendix cancer. Also I remember when the mother of one of my classmates from a course I took at synagogue passed away, I went to her funeral and that classmate was very appreciative.
