Please pass my condolences on to Barry.
A great-uncle? How old was Mr. Kramer when he passed? That’s a nice Hebrew prayer you posted. I read some of the words slowly- it’s religious Hebrew. With words like Shekhina and tahorim which I think means purity.
Condolences to you and Barry, and to your family! May Mr. Melvin Kramer rest in peace. God bless!
@TheCrimesOfDougMoe - He was 90. He would have turned 91 in February
I’m sorry to hear about Barry’s uncle.

Sorry for Barry’s and your loss.It’s hard saying goodbye to loved ones.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
My thoughts will be with you and Barry over the weekend. At 90, he was not young any more, so this may have been a good thing. But, he will be missed, and I sorrow in your loss. Peace.
