Woman of Valor

04/16/2006
My father read this today at my mother's unveiling.

We also read psalms, and the traditional El Maleh Rachamim and mourner's Kadish.

I'm not sure the author(s) had in mind a professional woman like my mother, but this "Woman of Valor" still seems extraordinarily appropriate.

A woman of valor, who can find?
Her worth is far above rubies.
The heard of her husband trusts in her
And nothing shall he lack.

My Mother Died

My mother died in a tragic accident Tuesday night 4/5/05. We remember her and try to be better people in her honor.
