My decision to participate in the Book of Life gave me the opportunity to honor my late relatives including my husband Steve, and my parents, Harold and Sally. In addition, I also wish to acknowledge and honor my children Hilary, Michael, Scott and Ping, and grandchildren Sean, Noah and Ryan.

It has always been important to me to perpetuate Jewish life and Jewish values. Throughout my adult life I have actively volunteered in Jewish
organizations including the San Diego Jewish Academy, Jewish Campus Centers (Hillel), and Jewish studies programs at San Diego State University and Tifereth Israel Synagogue. The purpose of these activities was to help build our Jewish community. Participation in the Book of Life is a way to acknowledge the importance of community involvement. I deeply appreciate the numerous blessings we all gain from our strong community.
