• To the Bermans Community: Thank you all so much for your words of comfort during Shiva last week, for all of the meals you prepared, for everyone who attended minyan and for your thoughts and prayers. My children and I were given a measure of peace knowing that Annice was so deeply loved by everyone who knew her. We will treasure the stories and memories of Annice that you shared with us and will hold these memories close to our hearts. The outpouring of love and support you’ve given us has given my children and me the strength and courage to face the difficult days ahead. Thanks again for your incredible kindness and for being here with us during our time of grief. With love and affection, Ira Grinberg and family
