When I was first informed that Ezi’s mother’s cousin, Shifra Lancet, had passed away, I was sorry that our planned meeting didn’t take place.  A few days after we spoke Ezi came down with covid, then I did, and then she did.  But she didn’t survive it, and I know she was okay with that too.  She was 101, after all.

But she was my last barrier between me and death.  Ezi and I are now the senior  generation. 

She herself always thought of Ezi’s mother with awe and admiration, and although her memory was fading, she loved telling anecdotes of the old days, and she loved making me things – scarves and stories.
