In Memory of RivkA - Obituaries from Israel

My friend RivkA's (from the coffeeandchemo blog) family is getting up from shiva today.

The Jerusalem Post has an obituary about her in today's paper (link)

Haaretz has an obituary about her (link)

RivkA's friends have created a Breast Pump Lending Center ("Gemach") and Consultation Service in her memory, called Meneket RivkA.

May her memory be a blessing, and may her family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim.

A sketch of RivkA by her daughter,
on a "coffee and chemo" date with her.
