My friendship with Jay and Genia came with an added bonus - Joan.
I was part of a package deal - Joan embraced me as a part of the family; since I was important to Jay and Genia, I was also important to her.
She was so kind to me. I visited in Philadelphia when I was in the States. When she came to Israel there was always a dinner out for me and Jay and Genia's other friends. There were bottles of wine at chagim. When I admired a synagogue cookbook she had given Genia, a copy for me arrived shortly after - some of my favorite recipes are in it and using it also brings back the fond memories of Joan.
She was always happy and smiling (of course I generally was seeing her when she was with her 5 adorable grandchildren) and it was always a pleasure to be with her. The wonderful relationship that she and Genia had was something most women can only dream of.
My life is richer for having known her. May her memory be blessed.
